Tango to Freedom

Intensive day workshops followed by an informal milonga (an evening dance) for the participants...
with Biljana Lipic

An ongoing workshop space for those interested in exploring, sharing and reflecting upon the colours and shades of our humanity through the language of Argentine tango. Our aims will be nothing more and nothing less than to be more playful, more present to each other and more fully ourselves!

Working with tango as a portal through which we are able to experience unity and community, whilst also allow our desire for freedom to challenge and temper these - we shall be asking ourselves what does it mean to be both intimate and creative and how can we embody a full response-ability as well as total freedom!

Questioning, dancing, playing, sharing - this will be a space in which to delve deeper into our creativity as also the core of our humanity. For our explorations we shall mainly use tango movement vocabulary, although at times we may dive into a different context of creative body work as well.

The workshops are open to all level dancers, including those who wish to try tango for the first time. Please bring food to share for lunch. Also, please note we shall be working without shoes!

Jiggerypipery

Jiggerypipery Celtic Rock n Roll Saturday 21st January Drewe Arms Doors 8.00 p.m. Tickets £6 advance from Sally's Newsagent, Chagford; Drewe Arms or ring Christy on 01647 281191 £7.50 on the door www.jiggerypipery.co.uk The chemistry of the band mixes Robertson’s distinctive 60 years of highland pipe playing, learned from his famous father, Pipe Major "JB" Robertson with the hard core, driving drumming of ex Boomtown Rat, Simon Crowe. Blend this with ex. Waulk Electrik bassist Peter Bingham, fiddle playing from Carl Allerfeldt, the cittern of Tony Bayliss and you have an exciting and listenable concoction of highly charged CelticFunk. Jiggerypipery’s album releases have been extremely well received by the media and have been played on both national and regional radio. Their debut album, ‘Jiggerypipery’ and their latest release, ‘The Drift’ are available direct from their web site.

2012- It's going to be a great year for local live performance!

This is an extra bulletin about the 25-Jan Globe Open Mic. Firstly, we are going to start at 7:30 (instead of 8:00) so that we can open with a 45-minute showcase set from local favourite Nell Hubbard, with remaining Open Mic slots commencing at 8:15. Secondly, 25th January happens to be Burns Night, so we are asking our singers / reciters / raconteurs to give the rest of the evening something of a Scottish theme.

 NELL HUBBARD: Singer/songwriter Nell sings with the Johnny Fuller Band as well as with her own line-ups, and in this showcase set of her songs will be joined by Johnny Fuller and Harry Avis on guitars and Matt Jackson on cajón. Please support Nell by coming along in time for the 7:30 start.

 

SCOTTISH THEME: Last year’s Bob Dylan Night inspired several of our Open Mic regulars to drag a Dylan song or two out of their back-catalogue or learn a new one specially, with very rewarding results. Of course we’re not expecting everyone to comply with the Scottish theme (any more than they did with the Dylan theme), and we’re certainly not expecting massed bagpipes playing Mull Of Kintyre, but it’s good to have a theme to inspire some of us to perform something different. Anything from Robbie Burns, via Donovan, Lulu and Mark Knopfler, to KT Tunstall, Travis and Franz Ferdinand. You get the idea... Performers – let’s use the Globe Open Mic Facbook page to swap ideas.

Get Pickled Success

On Sunday 15th January in the Courtyard Cafe, a group of enthusiasts enjoyed an inspiring and informative workshop with Natacha Du Pont De Bie. She took us on a tasty tour of how we can spice up our local winter veg. Pickling and fermentation is a low energy way to prolong food's shelf life. It helps capture goodness and produce healthy food . All the participants enjoyed a grand finale of delicious tastings and there was enough to take home jars and even bags of goodies.

We made an amazing £661 for Amnesty ( not the £750 that was announced I'm afraid - I forgot about the float!)
