The Lincoln, UK, MashUp is Back! #lincolnartsmashup

The Lincoln, UK, MashUp is Back…

The second Lincoln Arts MashUp will take place on Wednesday 2nd December from 5.30pm once again at the Brewhaus on the corner of Silver St and Broadgate, in Lincoln, UK.

The first one, back in October, was amazingly well attended by around 30 local creatives and was a surprising success judging by the positive comments that were flying around, for which many thanks! Not that anything amazing happened (though the pizzas were pretty amazing) but that was never the idea – it’s just a very informal social / networky thing open to anyone who works or is involved in the creative sector in and around Lincoln. A chance to get together with other creative types and chat/goss/discuss, whatever… and the more the merrier so please spread the word.

There’s free pizza again this time (thanks again to Visit Lincoln) and the bar is very much open.

And half way through we offer a slot called the MixTape when anyone can grab the floor for a couple of minutes to tell us about a project, an idea, an event or a workshop that ‘s coming up… or put out a call for artists to collaborate… or ask for some advice… or just have a good old rant (constructive of course).  A number of ideas were discussed and/or emerged last time and I am looking forward to seeing how some of these might have developed or changed completely….

LIVE ARTS IN BRIGG; The Wilsons, supported by Dave Vermond

   LIVE ARTS IN BRIGG – concert with The Wilsons, supported by Dave Vermond

It might seem unlikely that a group who have sung on both Broadway and at the Albert Hall could be performing in Brigg, but that’s what’s happening in a concert at The Angel, BRIGG in March.

The group in question is The Wilsons, a group of five brothers from the north-east who opened in Sting’s musical, ‘The Last Ship’, on Broadway last summer. Before their two special performances with Sting at The Sage in Gateshead at the end of April you can see them in Brigg first!

The brothers each have unique and very powerful voices which have gained them a huge following wherever they go. Singing either individually or in close harmony, they perform both traditional and more modern material – along with a large helping of humour – making every concert a truly memorable one. One of the brothers, Chris, has close links with the area, having lived in Winterton for a time some years ago, when he was a popular local singer.

Their support at the concert is also familiar to local audiences. Singer, songwriter and guitarist Dave Vermond was a great favourite when he sang regularly in the area a few years ago. His witty songs, great voice and brilliant musicianship will perfectly complement The Wilson’s powerful performance – it promises to be a terrific concert, so don’t miss it!

The concert is at the Angel Suite, Brigg on Sat March 7th  at 7.30pm. Tickets are available from Brigg Tourist Information Centre £12 (£14 on the door). Tickets may also be reserved on 

01652 678771 or 01652 653217.
