"Not only has the front man got the look and sound of Johnny Cash, he's backed by good band and also a great June Carter! .... Love to see you again soon somewhere!! TOP NIGHT!! KEEP IT GOING!!” - Jazz Cafe, London As is so often the case with unique artists, it takes another one to fully appreciate them. Having lived the life and music of Johnny Cash and other country heroes who came before and since, Ben, aka CASH, has effortlessly recreated the sound, vibe and appeal of the master himself. There's two types of people in this world: Those who like Johnny Cash and those that don't know a damn thing about music. CASH are dedicated to making sure as many people as possible get into the know... Growing up on a farm in Yorkshire, music has always been central to Ben’s life. With a Grandfather who was a big band drummer, and a Father with a vast musical collection enthusiastically shared with whoever would listen, music was everywhere. However, it was the music of a certain JR Cash that managed that rare feat of stopping a young and energetic Ben in his tracks. It gave him that first “light bulb” moment, as he recalls, “I had heard music before, of course. But this voice. His voice. I mean it literally brought me to a standstill. The words too. They just struck a chord with me somewhere and I really felt I understood what he was saying. I got this man, even as a child I could feel it”. “JR has always been rough around the edges and I don’t know why but I always felt I was born with an outlaw’s approach to life. Not that I was out there robbing trains or anything, but it was more of a mentality; just something inside of me really”. ​ Being a drummer first, it took a bit of coaxing from family and friends before Ben decided to take the Cash alter-ego seriously. “I have always felt a bit weird about pretending to be anyone else other than myself, so the concept of being Johnny Cash didn’t really appeal”, says Ben. “People were continuously telling me I had to do something with all this Cash stuff, so I decided I would start taking it more seriously, but the word tribute was key. I would pay my respects to the man by getting his stuff out there again; reaching out to established and new fans, but in no way would I try to be him. That is just not doable in my eyes, so I don’t want people thinking I think I am him. Cos I don’t!” Information Source: The Fleece Bristol | eventbrite

Manufacturing is a critical sector in the UK, employing over 2.6 million and contributing ~9% of GDP to the UK economy. With the race to net zero, heightened geopolitical uncertainty, rapid technological advances and continuous disruptions to supply chains, remaining competitive is increasingly challenging. Against the backdrop of these challenges, there is a need for stronger collaboration between industry and academia to drive continuous innovation and solve the more complex problems of today and of the future. The benefits from industry-academia collaboration are symbiotic. Through the combination of sector- and discipline-specific knowledge and expertise, these partnerships enable industry and academic groups to work together and co-design research programmes which will inform and underpin industry’s response to these challenges. Such partnerships will allow a broad spectrum of opportunities, including: Shared knowledge and skills New research informed opportunities for innovation and commercialisation Embedding world-leading research with manufacturing practice Access to additional research and innovation funding routes Access to world leading resources, including state of the art technology and equipment (e.g. Bristol Digital Futures Institute, Isambard AI) Access to world-leading staff and students at the University of Bristol Co-design educational programmes to create the work force of the future The aim of this event is to bring together the manufacturing community with the University of Bristol Business School, a leading Business School in the UK, to develop and drive forward a collaborative, interdisciplinary research agenda.

Destroyer is a Canadian rock band from Vancouver, British Columbia fronted by singer-songwriter Dan Bejar and formed in 1995. Destroyer songs are characterized by abstract, poetic lyrics and idiosyncratic vocals. The band's discography draws on a variety of musical influences, resulting in albums that can sound markedly distinct from one another; in Bejar's words, "That's kind of my goal: to start from scratch every time."

Amassing 1.2 BILLION streams and still counting, BRELAND’s undeniable talent and bold fusion of genre broke tradition and limitations as his PLATINUM-certified debut single “My Truck” captivated hearts and catapulted him to notoriety where only few go and remain. Lauded by major outlets such as NPR , The New York Times , and Rolling Stone who claims BRELAND as a standout who has reimagined “elements of Country, Hip Hop, R&B, Gospel and Pop – in a way that many have not experienced before,” BRELAND’s 2022 debut album Cross Country has amplified his star and served as the foundation for his relevance ever since. With high profile appearances on Good Morning America , Jimmy Kimmel Live! , TODAY , and more, the Bad Realm Records/Atlantic Records artist ushered in the next chapter of his career with his early-2024 single “Heartbreak & Alcohol,” which he announced on ESPN’s The Pat McAfee Show . BRELAND’s magnetism as a performer was featured on Verizon’s Speakeasy Concert series in Chicago in August and showcased as the headliner for his LITTLE MORE COUNTRIER TOUR before joining Teddy Swims' I’VE TRIED EVERYTHING BUT THERAPY TOUR. Charismatic. Soulful. A truly one-of-a-kind artist with stadium-sized appeal, the multihyphenate hitmaker has many accolades including winning the Academy of Country Music Lift Every Voice Award. BRELAND’s latest EP, Project 2024 , is a fusion of purpose and passion that is only the beginning of his next musical chapter. Information Source: The Fleece Bristol | eventbrite

At our Family Style Cookery Classes, you will be grouped with other participants and prepare dishes together as a team. Think of Chef Halise as the head of the family! She will take care of dividing the class into groups, and each group will be responsible for creating one of the dishes. Of course, you are welcome and encouraged to move around during the class to learn about the other dishes being prepared. Throughout the evening, Chef Halise will share stories about their food and culture, and explain how to prepare each of the dishes so you come away with some new cooking tricks and inspiration from Turkey.

I am from eastern Turkey, although at university I met people from other regions and learnt about various different cultures and recipes. I grew up in a big city with my three big sisters who were already helping my mum in the kitchen. I was always asking ‘Please can I help?’ By the time I got to university I had learned how to cook just by watching! In the summer I loved going to stay with my mum’s family, who lived in a village. They grew and cooked their own vegetables. There I had my Grandma all to myself and learned to make yoghurt and cheese, which I still make for my own family. Big meals at home with family and friends were an important part of our lives. We had to be strong to manage the huge pots we used. Our food traditions are very varied with lots of different recipes for meat and vegetables.” We’re excited to have you in the class!

Learn how to design better SuDS and better places, from award-winning pioneers and recognised leaders in the field of SuDS. This in-person masterclass dives right into how to adopt design approaches that will enable you to unlock the potential of integrated SuDS design on any project, no matter how challenging. These approaches consistently lead to better landscapes and developments that deliver more benefits for people, wildlife and the wider environment, more layers of meaning and more design fulfilment, as well as being more functionally effective, robust, cost-effective and easy to maintain. By demystifying the hydraulic modelling and introducing techniques that allow you to easily design with and understand ‘the volumes’ as building blocks in your designs, you will learn to design SuDS more creatively, flexibly and intuitively – like playing with water flow on the beach! We’ll explore the many guises and applications of the range of SuDS techniques and give guidance on how to choose which are appropriate where. Together we’ll do some practical workshop exercises to apply what we’re learning through the day, and explore the added value that reuniting rain positively with landscapes can bring. AND, we’ll empower you to challenge some of the blockages and barriers that get put in front of you in your projects. Our aim: to inspire, educate and empower. About the trainers: Kevin Barton FLI : As Managing Director at Robert Bray Associates, Kevin has led and overseen the design and implementation of many successful and award-winning landscapes.

The Rugged Man has been an up-and-coming star, an industry outcast banished and forgotten, an underground cult hero, an independent success story, and an influential master of the art form. He can obliterate rappers with ferocious battle rhymes, craft heartfelt personal songs fans can relate to, offend sensitive listeners with shocking vulgarity, challenge corrupt politicians and corporations, paint pictures with captivating storytelling, and deliver jaw-dropping flows that prove his lyrical skills are unmatched. He’s also worked with a staggering number of hip-hop’s most respected artists, including legends like The Notorious B.I.G. , Wu-Tang , Tech N9ne , Rakim , Mobb Deep , Talib Kweli , Kool G Rap , Public Enemy , Brother Ali , and many more. And while others struggle to maintain a foothold in the ever-changing rap landscape. R.A. The Rugged Man is the rare artist who has become more relevant with time, with each new album more compelling than the last. Do not miss this rare chance to see him live.

SuDS , Ecology & BNG Masterclass   This masterclass explores how to design SuDS, or influence SuDS design, to optimise benefits to wildlife and how this fits with the new mandatory Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) requirements that came into force in early 2024.  Drawing on decades of dedicated SuDS and ecological design, delivery, guidance and policy-making, we will share industry-leading knowledge and experience in an interactive and engaging masterclass with practical, applied learning activities.  Who is this masterclass for?   Landscape architects: learn how to design SuDS that genuinely creates meaningful habitat and contributes significantly to BNG scoring.  Ecologists: learn how to positively influence SuDS design to unlock its potential for wildlife and effectively evaluate SuDS designs within the BNG metric.  Engineers: learn how to anticipate the impacts of designing for wildlife on SuDS designs and collaborate with landscape architects and ecologists to unlock the fourth ‘pillar of SuDS’.  Planners and council officers: learn the principles of good SuDS design for biodiversity to empower you to enhance policy, guide project objectives and effectively evaluate applications.  Anyone else with an interest: All of the above!  SuDS and wildlife   The ability of well-designed SuDS to generate valuable habitat for wildlife is one of its core strengths but is sadly often overlooked or poorly designed.    Now that BNG is a mandatory requirement, this multifunctional quality of SuDS is more tangibly valuable to developers, and sought by planners, than ever.  The delivery of wildlife benefits in SuDS depends directly on sound core principles of both SuDS and ecological design, combined with careful design detailing, supervised construction and considered maintenance.    It is not the type of SuDS feature that delivers habitat – a swale for example – but how it has been designed to be protected from pollution, exhibit the correct conditions, contain appropriate plant species, avoid conventional drainage features that kill wildlife, and connect to other habitat areas.  What’s covered in the course?   Principles of designing SuDS for ecology  Masterplanning for SuDS and ecology  Designing, demonstrating and evaluating BNG habitat typologies in SuDS  Understanding the SuDS management train and how it impacts landscape conditions relating to habitats  Protecting from threats to wildlife   Maintenance for SuDS and ecology  Case study projects  Practical, collaborative design exercises and group discussion.  Information Source: Robert Bray Associates | eventbrite
