Mini Blog of Catch Up Slamfest / Drop In Centre / Bank Holiday Music


I've been busy with all the boring stuff that goes into mounting Slamfest - the good news is that wen have some found some great supporters and everything looks set for two days of great music in Rotherham - weather permiting.  We pray to the sun God every hour of every day.  For those wishing to share in the prayers, remember the dates are 6th / 7th July.  And if you've not discovered who's on yet, or where details can be found HERE where you will also find those who have so far been giving us that essential support.

At the Drop In Centre the immediate key dates are -  Wednesday 29th May 5:00pm Volunteer Meeting, probably not starting to 5:30pm this is for everyone wanting to help at the Centre, Slamfest and other RAE Events.  Saturday 1st June Official Opening, from 11am, Music, Wine and cheesy things with everyone invited to come on down to see what we are doing and perhaps find out why. (Sponsored by Amanda's Blinds). Wednesday 5th June Workshop: Basic Sewing Techneques 6pm - 8pm - £10 Basic craft sewing making a product that you keep.  Saturday 22nd June Book Launch, Tony Beesley, will be launching his new book "Away From The Numbers".   You can find out all about the Drop In Centre and the events HERE

Next up at Live At The Trades is Green Bay, one of the best Green Day tribute Bands in the Country doors open 7:30pm Friday 31st May.    On the 8th June something a bit different, The Night Train Revue Berlesque comes to The Trades with top pro acts from around the UK.  All the details HERE

And there is fantastic weekend of music coming up this weekend to celebrate the Bank Holiday.  Let's hope that this weather clears.  I'd draw your attention to the piano recital at the Old Market Gallery this Saturday from Chris Back, I'm told that this is well worth going to.  There are Festivals mainly Folk and blues at Hartlepool (Tom Killner is playing this one), On The Moor, Cottingham, Wigan for the Irish and Cleethorpes.  Closer to home it's Papa Lega's at The Bridge, and you can explore your inner self and creativity at LES EFFECTS DE LA MASS : you can find links to all the details HERE


That's it....................   Whatever you're doing this weekend, have fun, support your local artists and KEEP IT LIVE.
