2019-04-18 19:30 - 22:30 | The Red Brick Building, Morland Road, Glastonbury, Somerset, BA6 9FT, United Kingdom
Young Somerset’s Rural Music Network Tour

Featuring Markus Smith, The Front Runners, Elliot Garcia, Patchwork Poet, Mischa Jardine, Swingray, Otto Wilde and The Marianas

Thursday 18th April
7.30pm – 10.30pm
£5 on the door

The Rural Music Network Project supports new and up-and-coming music from Somerset, bridging the gap between the music industry and young people.

About Rural Music Network

Over the past five years Young Somerset (formerly Somerset Rural Youth Project), funded by Youth Music, has been delivering a music project called the Rural Music Network.
The aims of the project are to increase young people’s access to the music industry, as well as their skills and confidence through three music pathway strands:

Music Performance – playing solo or in a band, DJ, MC or singer/songwriter
Music Production – sound and lighting engineering, live music events, stage management, and studio and recording
Music Promotion – artist and music promotion, music events management and artist management.

The project will enable young people to select a pathway they wish to develop through engaging with the Rural Music Network Tour Programme.

The Rural Music Network Tour Programme offers the following:

Over two years, four tours will be delivered across Somerset.
For each tour, eight music acts and a tour production group will be selected to go on a four-month tour. The acts will play eight gigs across Somerset (two gigs a month).
Each music act will be offered three 2-hour music rehearsal / development sessions in between each gig with the RMN music leader, using their first gig as a baseline for their development and using video reflection of each gig as a development tool to identify areas of improvement.

The tour is focused in Somerset, enabling young musicians to gain experience playing in a wide range of venues. It also aims to increase the profile of new and up-and-coming music acts, as well as encouraging new audiences to support live music in their communities.

In exchange for this tour opportunity, each music act is supported to put on a community music making workshop in one of the communities they perform in. This will enable young people to develop their music performance skills and their music mentoring and tutoring skills.

14:45 – 15:15 – ‘Black Identity in the Arts’ Preview by Joanna Cobb
This lecture will act as an introduction to this vast, culturally rich and yet often overlooked subject. The session aims to provide a broad chronological and geographical sweep from the Roman emperor Septimius Severus to Black Panther in the 21st century, and across all continents. We will consider the identity of people of colour as both subject and artist in a range of media, including painting, drawing, print, textiles, sculpture, photography, the decorative arts, street art, film and music. Particular attention will be paid to the social, cultural and political contexts within which such imagery was conceived and created, as well as its function and audiences both contemporary and subsequent. Examples featured will include artworks from the vibrant multi-racial environment that was the Roman Empire, medieval Europe, Tudor England, 18th-century Australasia, 19th-century India, pre-colonial Africa and 20th-century America. Our discussion of the visual arts will be complemented by the extensive use of written sources and musical extracts. Artists will include John White, William Hodges, J.M.W.Turner, Edmonia Lewis, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Yinka Shonibare. Topics addressed in this lecture will include exploration and encounter, abolitionism, imperialism, colonialism, civil rights and the Harlem Renaissance.
The full lecture of ‘Black Identity in Art’ will be held at the Red Brick Building, Glastonbury on Tuesday 15th October between 2 and 4pm.
15:15 – 17:15 – REMEMBERING WINDRUSH a live music review featuring renowned British based Caribbean and jazz musicians.State of Trust brings outstanding musicians to Glastonbury on October 12th as part of Somerset Multicultural Association’s family fun day, performing Caribbean, Soul and Jazz music as part of a tribute to the Windrush Generation.

'FleeceFest' Free Mini Festival
2024-09-14 11:00 - 16:00 | The Red Brick Building, Morland Road, Glastonbury, Somerset, BA6 9FT, United Kingdom
‘FleeceFest’ Free Mini Festival

Come join us for an afternoon of live music, craft, art, food and drink and find out something new about the history of Glastonbury.

A brand new, free mini festival aimed at young people is coming to the Red Brick Building in September! It promises a day full of creativity, live music and local food. And, what’s more, the whole event has been organised by a fantastic team of young people.
The festival is part of a national project called New Wave, which encourages young people to get involved in heritage-related activities. It coincides with the national Heritage Open Days festival organised each year, which celebrates the rich history and heritage of communities across the UK.
FleeceFest is a one-day mini festival with live music, craft, food, and mural painting. It’s completely free to attend and, while it’s aimed at young people, all ages are welcome and there will be plenty for everyone to do.
One of the highlights will be painting a mural that celebrates and encapsulates the history of the Red Brick Building’s industrial past as a former sheepskin factory. The mural was sketched out in July by a group of young people, helped by local artist Jon Minshull. The design uses images from Morlands Magazines as well as quotes from some of the stories of people who worked in the factories, to tell the story of change at the Red Brick Building site. You’ll see the iconic Morlands gates, sheep, shoes, chimneys and lots of people working busily. The mural will be painted in full colour during FleeceFest, so do come along and join in if you like to get creative!
You’ll notice that there’s something sheepy about this event too, with the chance to get creative with sheepskin crafts led by local textile expert Liana. Plus, enjoy live music from local musicians, including the premiere of new songs inspired by the stories of workers from the historic Morlands and Baily’s factories.
The name FleeceFest is a nod to the Red Brick Building’s past as part of the Morlands sheepskin factory, a key player in Glastonbury’s economic and social history during the 20th century. The event will honour this heritage, particularly the craftsmanship and memories of those who worked in the sheepskin industry.
This will be a relaxed afternoon for anyone who is inquisitive, creative or who would just like to discover a new place in the community. Our fantastic team of young people have been working hard to create and organise this mini festival, and we can’t wait to see it in action. Pop along, bring a mate, and enjoy a creative day for all the family!

This event is being held in our Community Garden. All are welcome.
