Hyphae Collective invite poets, musicians and singers to experiment and collaborate with our house band – let’s see what mycelial magic we can weave together. Bring your instruments and your words; whether they be your own, someone else’s or, even better, improvised! The vibe: The Hyphae jam is a place where those who tell stories with words or stories with sound get to play together. A place where we descend into a hell poem loop that is exited via a performance of the J’Adore Dior advert (2004). A place where the soundtrack is constantly reinvented and always slaps. A place where we improvise poetic conversations that were never expected. A cooking pot for our collective madness – it is delicious. Practical bits: The jam is on the third Thursday of each month at 7pm, at Barnaby’s Lounge in Hastings. It’s free and unticketed (though tips are welcomed). The building is wheelchair accessible, but the toilets are not. This is a queer and trans friendly event – everyone is welcome. Poster hand drawn by @Sekinue Next date: Thursday 23rd April.
The Ellie Babies trio - fronted by singer Ellie Laine - play jazz, swing, blues and boogie woogie, combining musicianship with a fun vibe. Their repertoire includes songs by artists ranging from Nina Simone to The Stray Cats and The Beatles.
11pm start… Bring songs you’d like to sing, we’ll load ‘em up and have a great time until the early hours !
