8PM Roy has the goods: the original, the bare-knuckle, the low-down… blues. Who can say they were friends with the Rev. Gary Davis, Pink Anderson and Robert Lockwood? And toured with Arthur Big Boy Crudup, Hot Tuna, JJ Cale and Bonnie Raitt? Roy can. He has the stories, the licks, and the mystery of timeless music in his fingers. He’s been featured on a PBS Special and interviewed by Terry Gross on “Fresh Air”. He’s also a regular at Fur Peace Ranch, where he teaches along with Jorma Kaukonen. When he brings his ‘Tour Bus’ to town, a one-man-blues fest ensues. He plays and he entertains, feeding us music and stories, and the evening is a celebration for us all. We’re privileged to have Roy here to preserve – and extend – the tradition of great American blues music.

Luke Healy: The Con Artists
Several years ago, a box containing several hundred slips of paper was brought to the notice of the Professor of French Linguistics at Cambridge University. Close examination revealed that they were fieldnotes. Professor Jones has since ordered, transcribed, systematised and edited the slips, creating an invaluable resource of Jèrriais, Guernésiais and Sercquiais terms.
Told with refreshing humility and humour, this is the inspiring story of an ordinary family who rebelled against the waste of lifestyle wrapped in plastic. Packed with handy tips, it reveals much about what makes a fulfilling modern family – and how readers can empower themselves to preserve the climate, forests and seas.

“My only love sprung from my only hate…”
Jersey Youth Performing Arts present an original musical adaptation of the greatest love story ever told, Romeo and Juliet. Featuring songs from bands as diverse as The Black Eyed Peas, T. Rex and The Offspring, and with fight scenes choreographed by British Academy of Stage and Screen Combat Fight Master, Philip D’Orleans, this promises to be a thrilling production.
So, strap yourselves in; it’s going to be three very bumpy rides. Contains adult themes, strong language.
As everyone knows, these three joyful occasions can sometimes be the only times that all (or, at least most) of the members and generations of a family make the journey from the four corners of the circular globe to come together in one place for a shindig. As such, they are an emotional cauldron in which ancient grievances, imagined slights, generational differences and dissatisfaction with the catering bubble to the surface and erupt in the most spectacular fashion.
ACT presents a trilogy of original one act plays, each directed by a different member of ArtsCentreTheatre; linked but separate, each featuring members of the same family at three significant moments in their lives: a birth, a wedding (just the one) and a funeral.

Poems about birth, death, and life in-between, often consider the connections and foibles of family. Sometimes writing about family helps us to understand them, or it’s a way of remembering.
Perhaps you will imagine a new ‘Thrutopia’, recall a significant weather event, or just find the words to celebrate our seasons.
The weather has always been a popular subject in poetry:
