Better late than never for the write up...

We had an incredible night in June, cementing the tradition of kicking the night off with another great, funny and interesting talk from Thomas Hardy PhD student Emilie Gautier. Emilie presented the direction her research will be heading in 'Traces of Trauma'. Her talk focussed on the physical impact of emotional trauma on characters. By providing the political and social context of the time she highlighted the brutal environment in which Hardy's Wessex storms were created.

Closed Circuits kept the reverberations of the talk going when he started his set blindfolded. He brought the dronegasms.

Deep Men ripped us back out of it with finesse, dissonance and beautiful beautiful bass ready to close the night with the wry party vibes of the great Circuit Breaker.

Apologies for crappy picture quality. I was a bit overexcited when I took them.

Thanks to all of the performers and to all of the attendees for a great night. Nurze Nurze loves you.

Summer Break right now, next gig at new venue New River Studios on Saturday 17th October: speaker tbc, Melge, The Courtesy Group and band tbc. It'll be bloody lovely so be there.
