What role does the imagination play when we are writing about lived experience? If we agree that the life-writer’s task isn’t simply to record events but to write about them in a way that will engage our reader in character, setting and story, then we need to bring our imagination to the work. Evoking remembered people or conversations or happenings in a vivid way in our writing can feel conflicting for life-writers so during this masterclass (mistressclass!) we’ll discuss ethical considerations and through a combination of in-class writing exercises and the study of extracts from published texts, we’ll explore techniques to enable us to tell our stories creatively and with integrity. The session will be run by Hannah Vincent. Hannah is a novelist, short story writer and playwright. Her first novel, Alarm Girl was published in 2014 by Myriad Editions and her second, The Weaning was published in 2018 by Salt. Her short story collection She-Clown and Other Stories, published by Myriad in 2020, was shortlisted for the Edgehill Prize and the Manchester Fiction Prize. Her stage plays have been produced by among others, The Royal Court Theatre and The Royal National Theatre Studio and her radio play Come to Grief won a 2015 BBC Audio award. She has a PhD in creative and critical writing from the University of Sussex. The session will be held in the cosy surroundings of Kemptown Bookshop in Brighton and will run from 10-4pm with an hour for lunch. The venue is in the heart of Kemptown Village, on sveeral major bus routes and has plenty of options for lunch. The workshop is part of a series of one-day masterclasses held in the summer They are open to existing students on the Creative Writing Programme and other writers looking to improve specific areas of their writing craft.

"Proper Soul for the 21st Century" - The Craig Charles House Party Show, BBC Radio 2 "A great soul singer!" - Tony Blackburn, BBC Radio London “Great songwriting and a beautiful voice” - Robert Elms - BBC Radio London “An artist on the rise... a considerable talent” - Blues & Soul Magazine Abi Farrell Live at The Folklore Rooms, Brighton Come and join soul vocalist and songwriter Abi Farrell and her acoustic band (Carla Kazana; Keys, Alex Wiseman and Chloe Ravat; Backing Vocals) for her first ever headline show in Brighton at The Folklore Rooms . About Abi Farrell Abi Farrell was raised in rural Oxfordshire on a soundtrack of vocal powerhouses spanning the likes of Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, Candi Staton and Carole King. Named ' an artist on the rise.. a considerable talent' by Blues and Soul Magazine, Abi is known for her effortlessly pure voice and lyrical dexterity, which is equally at home creating moving, introspective ballads as it is high-energy, empowering anthems. Lyrically, her music explores themes of identity, self-esteem, self-worth, empowerment, gender equality, mental health and social mobility. With an appeal that transcends generations, Abi's voice and songwriting explore the experience of navigating the world as a fiercely ambitious young woman from a working-class background. Abi's music has been consistently embraced by the UK & international soul scene since releasing a string of singles in collaboration with Big AC Records, including 'I Will See You Through', 'Empowered', 'Don't Follow Me' and 'Stepping Out Of Your Shadow', which were produced by Mitch Ayling of The Milk and pressed to limited edition 7" vinyl. Her releases have been championed by Craig Charles on BBC Radio 2 and BBC 6 Music, who praised Abi's writing ' proper soul for the 21st century '. 'Don't Follow Me', a social commentary on misogyny, was premiered by Robert Elms on BBC Radio London and subsequently led to Abi performing the track on BBC Radio 4's Loose Ends. Though Abi has been captivating live audiences since her teenage years, she has recently opened stages for Izo Fitzroy, Dee C Lee and Stone Foundation, has headlined the BBC Introducing stage at Oxfordshire's The Big Feastival, and has performed at venues such as Pizza Express Jazz Club, Pizza Express Live Holborn, The 100 Club, The Cavern Club Liverpool, Servant Jazz Quarters, Colours Hoxton, Oslo Hackney, and The Louisiana, Bristol. In addition to her own artistry, Abi has performed backing vocals for many of her peers: Nick Corbin, Emma Noble, Carmy Love, The Milk, PM Warson, Denver Cuss and James Bone, and continues to lend her voice to music she loves. This show will mark Abi's first ever headline show in Brighton. It will celebrate the arrival of her brand new single '47 Days' and further new music due to arrive this summer.

It pleases the Séance mightily to be hosting semi/modular psychonauts Teleplasmiste , the exploratory cosmic electronics project helmed by Mark O Pilkington ( Luminous Foundation , Strange Attractor Press ) and Michael J York ( Coil , Cyclobe , The Utopia Strong ) since 2015. ' Teleplasmiste’s cleverly layered soundscapes are deep and immersive. They plunge the listener through a psychic wall into what seems like infinite space.'

RIYL Dame Darcy, Ivor Cutler, Virginia Astely. https://roseio.bandcamp.com/ https://www.instagram.com/_rose__io/ Kemper `Norton The preeminent sonic gazetteer of West Country phantasms and rave spectres graces the Séance for second summoning. The first was superb. 'A submerged breakbeat, a chug of acid rhythm or just a recurring shape in the Magic Eye blizzard.. A lovely fusion of Cornish and kosmische. ' The Wire https://kempernorton.bandcamp.com/ Map 71 Brighton's beloved incantatory post-industrial drum-magick duo. Cut-up text delrium and buzzsaw electronic threat. 'Lisa Jayne’s vocals have...bite, and malice, to them, while Pyne’s backing tracks are svelte muscular things. They ripple with clever ideas and taut instrumentation whilst having the power to get under your skin.' God Is In The TV https://map71.bandcamp.com/music photo Al Strachan Elkka Nyoukis & Karen Constance Motherdaughter pitchwonk & tapemangle improv hatched from the Chocolate Monk/Blood Stereo otherlode. Constance & Nyoukis utilise tapes and electronics to percolate a sound of uneasy wooze. Expect a bent out of shape surrealist take on the wonderful liminal world between wakefulness & sleep. Pillows are optional. 'Loops and manipulation go from crinkled, hissing ear wobble to more in-the-red what-the-f*ckery (à la Polly Shang Kuan Band).' Tedium House https://bloodstereo.bandcamp.com/album/bicker-sweet Near-weekly Séance channelings have occurred variously via the Repeater Radio, Slack City and Radio Reverb motherships for 15 years. Born from a series of all-day musical pub sessions in the mid noughties and named after the 1964 Bryan Forbes film Séance on a Wet Afternoon, each show is a digressive wallow in the astral hinterlands of esoteric pop, buried soundtrack treasure, new and old electronic grot, folk musics psych and trad, freeform misshapes, arcane dub effluvium, modern composition, covetable new releases and whatever else happens to be punching their ticket at the time. When operating as a production unit The Séance has contributed tracks to A Year In The Country alongside remix work for various valued compadres. It will do some more of all this at some point once it pulls its finger out. Pete Wiggs is otherwise available as one third of Saint Etienne and Dem (aka James Papademetrie) isn't.

Tales – folk, fairy and epic – have a timeless quality. They are islands of memory and insight if we give them time to talk to us. The first half of this masterclass will let us look at how memory works and the place of imagination; making meaning of myths. We will work with myths from selected cultures, about women and seasons. While myths are universal, what makes them distinctive and can we recall local ones? The second half of this masterclass is to engage in writing. We will work with metaphor and its power in creative writing with our unique imagination and signature. Please bring, wear or carry an object that is precious to you to the masterclass. The session will be run by Vayu Naidu. Vayu did her doctoral research on oral traditions and performance storytelling. Her fiction combines myths and epics and contemporary situations in a tapestry that unveils the human condition, our strength through our vulnerability.

This masterclass will set you firmly on your way to being a crime writer. Your tutor – a former police chief superintendent and now crime writer – will guide you through the nature of the genre and its sub genre, understanding the world of crime, villainy and policing, then we will get on to the actual writing. We will work through how to develop gripping characters, settings, how to plot, write authentic dialogue, and craft twists, arcs and endings. Come prepared for a blistering day and armed with all the questions you’ve always wanted to ask someone who’s done it for real and now makes it up for fiction. The session will be run by Graham Bartlett.

On June 15th at 6pm, we’re launching the bobu Safety Forum, and if you want to be part of shaping the future of safety this is where you need to be. This is not a “talk about safety” session. it’s a game changer. It’s where YOU get to drive the conversation that will shape the future of safety. Real safety? It’s inconvenient. It’s uncomfortable. But it’s necessary. The numbers speak for themselves: • Over 60% of hospitality workers have witnessed sexual harassment in the workplace—and most of it goes unreported. (HOSPA) • Venues and businesses in the UK lose £1.6 billion a year due to harassment and unsafe environments. (UK Gov) These aren't just statistics. This is the reality of our industry. The bob u Safety Forum is where businesses like yours will step up and lead the conversation. Real safety means doing the work. It means confronting uncomfortable truths. It means leading the way in making sure people are heard, seen and protected. What to expect at the bobu Safety Forum: Straight Talk, Not Small Talk We’re cutting through the noise. Expect raw, honest conversations about what’s really happening in venues and businesses right now—and what needs to change. No sugar-coating, no corporate fluff. Your Voice, Your Power This isn’t a panel where you sit quietly and listen. This is a forum, you’re part of the conversation . Share your experiences, challenges, and ideas. Be seen. Be heard. Building the Future Together We’re not here to hand you a manual. We’re here to build a new standard of safety with you. You’ll leave with ideas, momentum and a chance to shape how venues and businesses across the UK move forward. Connection Time Meet other businesses and venues who actually give a damn. Build your network with people who are done with ticking boxes and ready to do real work. Because safety isn’t just a conversation, it’s a revolution.
