Court and Spark: An international symposium on Joni Mitchell. Lincoln University UK July 3rd 2015

Court and Spark: An international symposium on Joni Mitchell.

 University of Lincoln. Minerva Building 3^rd July, 2015.

10am-5pm: Day symposium.

6.30pm-8pm:  Q&A and book signing with Malka Marom, author of Joni Mitchell – Both Sides Now [Omnibus Press, 2014]. Kindly co-hosted by Waterstones, Lincoln. 

The School of English and Journalism at the University of Lincoln, U.K invites you to Court and Spark: An International Symposium on Joni Mitchell, which features a Q&A with celebrated author of Joni Mitchell – Both Sides Now, Malka Marom.

Joni Mitchell is widely recognised as an innovative, influential, much-loved and much-imitated artist. From her debut album Song to a Seagull to her most recent Shine, Mitchell’s music: her tunings, her lyrics, her scope have drawn critical and popular acclaim. And yet, scholarly attention to her work has been relatively limited. This symposium will attend to Mitchell as a figure worthy of sustained critical thought and appreciation.

The School of English and Journalism at the University of Lincoln invites you to join us on 3^rd July, 2015 in considering all things Mitchell. Academics, music critics, fans are all encouraged to attend.

Tickets available: Here

Walesby Forest Festival 28 -31 AUG 2015

This summer, Walesby Forest Festival will set up camp in Sherwood Forest for the first time 

ever giving families and friends alike an outdoor festival with a difference, from 28^th – 31^st August.

Located on the site of one of the UK’s biggest and most loved adventure activity centres, visitors will be able to combine outdoor activity with a fun and vibrant music scene with some of the best folk, blues, country and jazz bands in the world. All proceeds from the weekend festival will support Walesby Forest Scout Centre, a not-for-profit organisation. The Walesby Forest Festival is being held to raise funds for Walesby Forest Charity.

With over 40 on-site adventure activities, there will be something to suit all tastes. From yoga, archery and Ceilidh’s, to climbing, martial arts workshops and Canadian canoe experience, combined with entertainment from circus entertainers, jugglers, stilt walkers and acrobats. Visitors are guaranteed a unique weekend away in rural Nottinghamshire.

A full programme of acts is being finalised, but already confirmed are some of the best bands in the world of folk. Flying in from Dublin, KILA are hailed as one of Ireland’s most innovative and exciting bands. KILA provided the soundtrack for Oscar nominated Irish film, Song of the Sea, and in 2014 headlined the St Patrick’s Day celebrations at Trafalgar Square in London.

The two on-site bars will be serving a great choice of real ales, wines and spirits, giving parents and guardians the perfect break, together with a range of food from around the world.

Damien Barber, Creative Director at Walesby Forest Festival, said: “We’re really excited to launch Walesby Forest Festival at Sherwood Forest. A full programme of events is currently being finalised, and is guaranteed to excite visitors of all ages. Whether visiting for a day or camping on-site and enjoying a weekend break in rural Nottinghamshire, the festival will give something back to the local community while giving both groups and individuals a weekend to remember in the heart of the Sherwood Forest.”

We are keen for all sections of the community to take advantage of the festival and would ask if you are able to display the attached poster on the staff notice board, if you require extra posters please contact Walesby Forest on 01623 860202 to discuss your requirements with our staff.

Real Masters of Soul with a proper authentic Soul & Motown live sound.

The Sensational Soul Band

Sat June 13 Skeleton Crew (Classic Rock/Rock) A hard rock quintet from Nottingham who effortlessly fuse hard-hitting riffs with memorable melodies and rich harmonies, and deliver it all with a complete absence of grace and decorum. If you like your rock music to pirouette down a catwalk wearing lycra and eyeliner then Skeleton Crew UK may not be for you. If, on the other hand, you prefer your rock music to make you feel like you’ve just been run over by a rather happy truck or some sort of tractor, then you could be in the right place. Its just good, honest, heavy rock and good honest loud people seem to really like it.


Sat June 20 Triton 56 (Prehistoric Crunchy Rock) From the ashes of Riff Raff come the offspring of…..Triton 56 playing ZZTop, Purple, Led Zep, Quo, AC/DC and all that kind of stuff…… WELCOME BACK!  One definitely not to miss.  

Sat June 20 Verbal Warning (Old Skool Punk Rock) The Spirit of 1977, this Nottingham band has entertained Old Nicks’ audiences on several occasions much to the appreciation of all.
