12 Noon Until 12 until noon 5pm When they are not working, they spend their summer in a beautiful meadow in Wales, surrounded by a Woodland Trust wood, while in the winter they are housed in a large, warm barn. When they are working, however, like all donkeys they love the attention they receive, and a healthy, working donkey is a very happy donkey indeed. Come along and see the donkeys!! Ferret racing has been held at country shows and fetes for many years and has proven to be very popular at such events. It gives everyone a chance to participate in our displays by having a small flutter on the outcome of the race, eventually by being both either winners if their ferret comes first or helping contribute dona- tions to charity and animal welfare if they lose! Get your caricature done by professional caricature artist Ian Lloyd. Fun for the whole family! Come and try your hand at some circus skills taught by Circus Fantastic. We will have lots of fun equipment for you to have a go play with. Ever fancied yourself as a juggler or plate spinner? Or perhaps you are a secret hula hooper. We can teach you the basics or show you some new tricks. Come and see our amazing birds of prey! You will have the opportunity to ask ques- tions, take photographs and see our flying displays with audience participation. These displays include falcons, a hawk and an eagle owl. We promise great and infor- mative fun for all the family. Thomas Jenkins & Sons Amusement will be on site from 12 noon—5pm with a selection of children’s rides and amusements. Enjoy the mobile Play Bus, as well as fun outdoor games, such as giant Jenga, Connect 4 and Dominoes. Photos used with permission of the owners And much, much more!!! SilverTrain are a 4-piece band based in Bristol per- forming Rock, Pop, Blues & Ska songs at all kinds of venues and events all around the UK. A host of mainly '80's rock, pop and ska covers was created in addition to an array of rhythm & blues tracks to es- tablish a set that caters for a very wide audience. Gigs began in November 2011 debuting at the Cat & Wheel in Bristol and since then the band have per- formed at all kinds of venues and events including Daz's Rock 4 Charity 4 Kerry which took place on Weston's Grand Pier in front of 1500 people in Janu- ary 2012. Further R4C gigs on the Grand Pier and at the Bristol Colston Hall followed in amongst a busy pub and private gig schedule. Julian left the band in March 2014 making way for new bassist Steve Dunk formerly of The Al- ligators. In November 2016, new vocalist and frontman Tim Rice (formerly of Smack The Eight- ies) joined the band to give an edge and connection with the audience which also allowed the band more musical depth and vocal harmony. More info on Attractions page Hooper have been wowing audiences with their eclectic mix of pop and rock interpretations for over a decade. The four accomplished, Bristol-bred musicians, all of whom cut their teeth in notable, original bands of the 80s and 90s, understand how to create an exhilarating vibe at their gigs. Hooper’s energy and commitment to musicality can make you feel like you’re at Wembley, with the charisma and undeniable chemistry (three are brothers after all) to keep things personal enough to party like you’re in your own front room. Hooper isn’t afraid to smash the boundaries of music and deliver it with a confidence and energy that will give you a night to remember. John is the founding member of the band and has been play- ing bass for many years with a number of bands in and around the Bristol area. Rick's bluesy chords and riffs, with the occasional country influence, provide wonderful rhythm and texture to the band's sound. Patrick has recently joined the band and brings with him a wealth of experience, having played drums for many years with a number of bands. Adrian is an accomplished pianist, accordion player and bassist. His long standing love of reggae can be heard through his subtle use of chords and melodies. Lorna's enchanting and emotionally engaging stage presence en- sures that her audience feel part of every performance. After working as a rehearsal pianist for various ballet schools in London, Ben currently works as a pianist and Musical Director for theatre productions and has performed at the Bristol Old Vic, the Tobacco Factory and the Bristol Hippodrome. For most ska fans 1980 had to be the year. The music of The Specials along with Madness, The Beat, The Selecter and Bad Manners were the sounds on your radio. Britain was a bleak place back then, and the music that brightened those days were sounds of the great 2 Tone bands. It didn’t matter who you were or where you came from, it was a movement that united people and it continues to this day! Every generation a band comes along, a band that makes you forget about all that is wrong with world, a band that makes you stand up and throw your hands in the air. They have been bringing their unique blend of 2 tone ska hits to the masses since 2009. This gathering brought together a crew of 7 first class musicians with a calibre that is second to none, and a combined number of gigs literally in the thousands. The band have played and collaborated with the likes of Roddy Radiation of The Specials, and have shared a stage with 2 Tone legends The Selecter and Bad Manners! Since the band have been touring the country playing their unique style of two toned in- spired hits, they have played a string of sell out shows, headlined a string of festivals and have left thousands of people breathless and shouting for more. 2 Rude have rightly claimed their title as one of the hottest live acts in the country!

    SOUTH dir Morgan Quaintance [Yusef Komunyakaa] An island is one great eye, gazing out, a beckoning lighthouse, searchlight, a wishbone compass, or counterweight to the stars. When it comes to outlook and point of view, a figure stands on a rocky ledge peering out towards an archipelago of glass on the mainland, a seagull's wings touching the tip of a high wave, out to where the brain may stumble. [Faint crackling static] [Melancholic solo cello] [Intertwining string melodies] [Melodies soaring higher] [Melancholic cello theme returns] [Theme soars then descends] [Low string melodies] [Sombre dying cadence] [Music ends] [Echoing footsteps] [Audience members clearing throats] [Piano cadence] [Baritone sings aria in Italian] [Singing continues, accompanied by piano] [Dramatic climax] [Music ends] [Female voice] Once you can speak, you can learn to sing. [Dramatic piano cadence] -Oh, I began teaching in er... 1971. -[Soprano singing in background] I returned to Vienna and then I built up a choir. But I had a forty voice choir. And this choir was so professional, they sang in about seven languages. Because I taught them to sing in German, in Italian, in French and even Russian. So, the first thing I asked them to do, I say sing anything [chuckles]. And then when I hear where the voice is I know whether it's a low voice, or a middle voice, or a high voice; I can tell. [Soprano and piano continues] The power, actually, you can use in the right way. Because you don't always have to sing very loud, you can control the singing, sing softly but yet that could reach out beyond.

  • THE REVIEW: the Beat Were Formed in Birmingham in 1978. Soon After, They Had to Change Their Name to the ENGLISH Beat to Avoid Confusion with Another Band
    THE REVIEW: The Beat were formed in Birmingham in 1978. Soon after, they had to change their name to The ENGLISH Beat to avoid confusion with another band. They are known as one of the leaders of the Ska revivalist movement along with fellow Brits The Specials, Madness, The Selecter and The Body Snatchers. The British ska groups were of course multiracial and were formed by kids who lived in the same areas. Much like the poor kids of Jamaica, they didnt have much money so they formed bands to perform when they couldnt get into clubs.The English Beat was co-lead by Guitar/Vocalist Dave Wakeling a punk rock toaster, along with Ranking Roger another brilliant reggae/ska toaster. The other members were made up of Andy Cox (Guitar), Dave Steel (Bass), Everett Morton (Drums) and the one and only Saxa (Saxophone). Saxa was originally in a well known band called Prince Buster and Desmond Dekker, and this helped bring The Beat even more attention at the time. Saxa was also much older than the other chaps (around 50 years old at the time), but he contributed an extra special soulful touch that made the band sound even better than before. The Beat went on to open for The Selecter and they then were signed to the 2 Tone label (specialists in ska) and they followed this with the release of their first single "Tears of A Clown", a skanked up version of the Motown Smokey Robinson classic hit. In 1980, The Beat decided to start their own indie label and they called it Go-Feet (an Arista sub-label).

  • Roddy Radiation Brings the Vibe to the Parlour
    The Specials’ Roddy Radiation Brings The Vibe To The Parlour Photo by Lisa Gourley On a Sunday it’s common to just stay in, relax and gear up for the upcoming week. This past Sunday at The Parlour was an exception as ska royalty entered the building for what was going to be a righteous time. Founding member and guitarist from English ska legends The Specials, Roddy Radiation, was rolling through town as part of his tour with Baltimore and Washington, D.C. based rocksteady act The Scotch Bonnets, and Providence two-tone soul ska act The Copacetics were opening things up. It was a festive night full of beats, horns and a lovely feeling. If you weren’t at The Parlour then you weren’t at the right place. With the audience’s full attention, The Copacetics took the stage and kicked things off to a rhythmic start. They’re not your typical two-tone band; this gang of seven incorporates hints of jazz, vintage r&b and Motown soul. They showed it on stage with the songs “Time Hard,” “Howl At The Moon” & “Ska Royale.” An extended, jazzed-out version of Sam The Sham & The Pharoahs’ classic “Wooly Booly” was pretty amazing as well. The Copacetics released their self-titled debut album in January and from what I heard live, you should absolutely include it in your music library. With frontwoman Lady Hatchet singing like Aretha Franklin, The Scotch Bonnets had everyone captivated from the first song. Along with Hatchet giving numerous shoutouts to her home state of Rhode Island, this groovy group of musicians exuded a lot of soul and a rockin’ vibe that had me immediately impressed.

Lobo-Gilbert CSU Monterey Bay MPA Recording Technology Spring 2014 THE SWELL AND CRASH OF SKA’S FIRST WAVE: A HISTORICAL ANALYSIS OF REGGAE'S PREDECESSORS IN THE EVOLUTION OF JAMAICAN MUSIC INTRODUCTION Ska music has always been a truly extraordinary genre. With a unique musical construct, the genre carries with it a deeply cultural, sociological, and historical livelihood which, unlike any other style, has adapted and changed through three clearly-defined regional and stylistic reigns of prominence. The music its self may have changed throughout the three “waves,” but its meaning, its message, and its themes have transcended its creation and two revivals with an unmatched adaptiveness to thrive in wildly varying regional and sociocultural climates.

  • Suits and Boots: a Guide to Ska Style
    Suits and Boots: A Guide to Ska Style With New England summer winding down and cooler weather approaching, it’ll be time for all the rude boys to get their suits out of the closet and get set to look sharp at a show. Wait. What’s that you say? Rude boys? No, no. I don’t mind. I always relish the chance to nerd out about ska. In the 1960s, rude boys were either glorified or vilified in the poorer sections of Kingston, Jamaica. They were discontented youth, violent and prone to crime, and many ska and rocksteady artists of the time had songs about them. Tunes such as Dandy Livingstone’s “A Message to You, Rudi,” Alton Ellis’s “Dance Crasher,” and many more featured rude boy culture. Rude boys favored sharp suits, skinny ties and pork pie or Trilby hats. Think Dan Akroyd and John Belushi as The Blues Brothers, and you won’t be far off. In the late ’70s, the style was revived along with ska music by the 2 Tone Label and its associated bands: The Specials, Madness and The Selecter. The 2 Tone logo featured a cartoon drawing of a cool looking dude in a sharp suit and skinny tie nicknamed “Walt Jabsco.” The artist based the drawing off a slick looking Peter Tosh from one of the earlier Wailers records and thus the rude boy was reborn, not as a violent gangster, but as a fashion archetype and a label to describe fans of ska music. This era also saw the birth of the skinhead and the working class style of flight jackets, Fred Perry polo shirts and jeans held up by braces, rolled up to show off a neat pair of Doc Martens boots.
