SetPiece Taylor & Thompson / Durrant & Vishnick / Urethra Franklin
Prominent figures in the UK & European improvised music world, Benedict Taylor (viola) and Daniel Thompson (guitar), have been playing and curating together as a duo alongside a number of larger ensembles, since 2010. Appearing together on a number of notable improvised music albums. Their debut duo release is currently being prepared for release in 2019
-- --
Phil Durrant and Martin Vishnic's pairing of mandolin and guitar is a tradition in many musical fields but virtually unknown in the world of free improvisation. This context and combination lends a certain uniqueness to such a collaboration of established musicians. Together they explore extended techniques influenced in part by electronic music. Performing regularly in the UK, they have graced the stages of venues such as Mopomoso, Flim Flam, Horse Improvised Music Club, Safehouse, and SkronkFest2018.

POETRY EVENING
Pen-Ting Vol. 20 Post Pride Power
Curated poetry evening that sports open mic opportunities, also a PTP Cypher after the main event, with the opportunity to spit your piece over a selection of beats from DJs until 11pm. Hosted by The Repeat Beat Poet with Solomons Soul on the decks.
This month’s theme is a celebration of all things and people LGBTQI+ in the aftermath of this year's Pride (and UK Black Pride) marches.
Whether you're still brushing glitter from your clothes, or a supporting ally, if you want to highlight Pride's origins in the Stonewall Riots, condemn rainbow capitalism, or share a story in solidarity, it will all be a part of us asking: how can we hold onto and use this energy and power to facilitate the change we need to see?
With poetry from:
London based, Rick Dove
And from the ::nana:: collective, Rakaya Fetuga
Open from 18.00 – 22.30
£5 standard (£3 Open Mic’ers)
Earlybird ticket link available via the Pen Ting newsletter (email pentingcrew@gmail.com

MUSIC & COMEDY
The Slinks Edinburgh Preview
An XXXXTRA special preview for one night only before they "cafe du depart" for the Edinburgh Festival. The Slinks are functioning performaholics, they live and breathe the stage but they never quite manage to leave their dressing room.
In this one-hour debut you can expect music, dance, sequins, laughter, tears, mime and a lot of smoke and mirrors. Set in real time to a live one-man-band, The Slinks descend into the lunacy of an anxious actor and her paranoia of being hated or ever worse…loved!
Over-dramatic, narcissistic actress Mrs Slink is waited on hand, foot and finger by Mr Slink, a hyper sensitive cross-dressing clown. The Slinks are mesmerised by performance, and desperate to untangle the politics of human companionship.
Their creators, avant-garde performer Lily Ashley and pianist and clown Hugo Hamlet, weave their wry magic with sleight of hand, and a never-ending fascination for performance. Together they bring an experience that is heart-thumpingly alive.
Showtime is 18:30 - 20.00
