SUMMARY:Refusal
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Lakeside Theatre Main House for the Homegrown production\, Refusal\, by Elena Botts. Elena is an artist and researcher at the University of Essex. \nAcross sound\, glitch\, refuse\, moving image\, sculpture\, performance\, and animation\, this one-night show offers fragmentation as refusal of normative narrative regimes of spectacle. \nThis is a participatory gathering: the showcase of an eclectic group of artists is deliberate\, in resonance with the exploratory theme\, and after the set of performances\, informal discussion is welcomed. Though each artist utilizes media differently\, with different stories to tell\, each also offers an openness towards the unknown vital to this conversation. \nTickets £5.50 \nFeatured artists:Elena Botts\, Ellen King\, Pat Nininger\, Hadiyan Yusuf Kuntoro\, aly\,willamina cutler-gear\, Rachel Garfield\, Yun Lu\, Lu : Lucille : hebe Brownrigg

SUMMARY:Writing Workshop: Plot and structure

From the first idea to the finished product\, you’ll explore key aspects of developing a show with practical steps and support. \nFree to attend for University of Essex members\, though spaces are limited so do book your space each week! \nWeek 3 – Plot and structure:This week focuses on how to structure your piece with a three-act structure of a beginning\, middle\, and end.

SUMMARY:Craig Gould & The Nobel Thieves / Motel Sundown
DESCRIPTION:Craig Gould & The Noble Thieves \nCraig Gould’s music combines honest\, emotional storytelling with the timeless sounds of americana\, folk\, country and blues. His debut album\, Songs from the Campfire\, earned critical acclaim\, drawing comparisons to icons like Cat Stevens\, Leonard Cohen\, and Fleetwood Mac.Released to widespread praise\, the record charted in the Top 20 of the UK’s Official Americana\, Folk\, and Indie Breakers charts. Named one of 2023’s Best Albums by At The Barrier\, Music News Monthly\, and BluesBlues\, it chronicles Gould’s journey through mental illness\, with all proceeds donated to the mental health charity CALM. \n“Beautiful music & masterful musicianship” – Americana UK \nWith five UK headline tours\, standout appearances at The Long Road\, YNot\, Camper Calling\, and Rock n Ribs Festivals\, alongside BBC Radio support\, Craig’s live sound showcases an ability to connect with audiences through heartfelt songs. His evolving sound\, shaped alongside his band The Noble Thieves\, blends the soul of americana with the grit of blues\, the spirit of country\, and the storytelling of folk. \nIntimate & mellifluous country sounds” – RnR Magazine \nCraig’s momentum continues to grow with the release of an ambitious live EP in 2025\, available in both audio and visual formats. His highly anticipated second studio album\, Songs of Love and War\, is due in late 2026. \nEndorsed by Tanglewood Guitars\, supported by the AMA-UK as a showcase artist\, featured on the Folk on Foot Folk Albums Chart Show\, and award-nominated by the BCMA\, Gould’s blossoming reputation as both writer and performer shows no signs of slowing down. \n“Make a note of the name” – Folking.com \nMotel Sundown \nWith a sound reminiscent of soft-rock bands of the 60s & 70s\, Motel Sundown draw listeners with their blend of heartfelt lyrics over luscious three part harmonies.  \nThe three friends began writing together in 2018 after discovering mutual influences\, releasing their debut album If You Were Listening in 2022 following a trio of singles. Labelled “a band to watch in 2024 and beyond” (Fatea) the Liverpool based band have since supported The Hanging Stars\, Ashley Campbell\, The Chapin Sisters and more recently\, US Grammy nominated artist Courtney Marie Andrews\, with two UK tours under their belt.  \n2024 proved their busiest year yet following the release of their debut EP El Dorado in June\, (“vividly nostalgic songs that envelop and intrigue you” – Boot Music) and sold out shows at the Music Room\, Liverpool and Green Note\, Camden. Gaining momentum\, the trio made their second appearance at Black Deer Festival in the Summer\, before sharing a line-up with The Jacksons at Liverpool Pier Head\, closing the year with a 9-date UK and Ireland tour selling out venues in Wales\, Ireland and Liverpool.  \nTheir 2025 itinerary sees them continue with their highly anticipated self-releases\, following the success of their fingerpicked ballad Rosie which has received comparisons to the likes of Nick Drake and Fleetwood Mac\, surpassing 20k streams on Spotify. Catch their harmonies live at Festivals this Summer and at their headline show at ARC\, Liverpool in July. \n“After all their time playing in Liverpool\, it’s no surprise their sound is already honed and song craft accomplished.” \nAMERICANA UK \n“The perfect soundtrack to a road trip at sunset\, leaving your troubles behind and your hopes out in front.” \nURBANISTA \n“This is sophisticated Americana that should see them going places.” \nFATEA
