The distributors have not charged for the film hence the free admission and the film will be followed by a discussion on the themes raised. \nOil has been an invisible machine at the core of our economy and society. It now faces an uncertain future as activists and investors demand change. Is this the end of oil? \nBy highlighting the complexities of how oil is embedded in our society – from high finance to cheap consumer goods – The Oil Machine brings together a wide range of voices from oil\, company\, executives\, economists\, young activists\, workers\, scientists\, and pension fund managers. It considers how this machine can be tamed\, dismantled\, or repurposed. \nWe have 5 to 10 years to control our oil addiction\, and yet the licensing of new oilfields continues in direct contradiction with the Paris climate agreement. This documentary looks at how the drama of global climate action is playing out in the fight over North Sea oil. \nOil companies are convinced that they can continue to keep drilling while keeping to Net Zero ambitions through adopting new technologies\, such as carbon capture But climate scientists are deeply sceptical of the Net Zero concept and the time it would take for these technologies to be effective. \nThe Oil Machine explores the complexities of transitioning away from oil and gas as a society and considers how quickly we can do it. \nDirected by Emma Davie\, produced by Sonja Henrici \nRating PG URL:https://calstockarts.org/event/28-september-the-oil-machine-film/ CATEGORIES:Film END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20230923 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20230924 DTSTAMP:20260501T165423 CREATED:20220823T152412Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230919T093647Z UID:1101-1695427200-1695513599@calstockarts.org SUMMARY:23 September: Gallery Bar Special - Louise Parker Quartet DESCRIPTION:Plymouth based jazz & soul singer Louise Parker\, joined by her band\, Neil Burns (guitar)\, Jem Fatna (drums) and Pasquale Votino (bass) return to the Old Chapel this autumn. \nLouise Parker  \nLouise  started singing late\, but soon found out she had a feel for jazz.

Four fine musicians whose roots are firmly in the traditional English genre\, but who enjoy stretching the limits – in what a lot of people refer to as ‘the quirky Banter twist”.  Formed in 2015\, due to a happy accident\, they immediately realised their common love for traditional English song and dance and began to mess around with it. \nThey gained popularity\, or should it be notoriety\, very quickly and were soon performing at many of the country’s largest festivals\, including Glastonbury\, Cambridge FF\, Sidmouth FF and Towersey. \nWith the release of two albums\, YES and DARE\, between 2017 and 2019\, they received more plaudits in the music press including a Valentines day session on Mark Radcliffe’s Radio 2 Folk Show. \nNow firmly established as one of the UK’s finest bands they have recorded their third studio album “Three”.

The six musicians bring their individual styles and influences to the mix\, inspired by traditions from Iran and the Eastern Mediterranean to Portugal\, Scandinavia and beyond. Modal music\, improvisation and virtuosity are a feature of their gloriously entrancing infusion. Featuring traditional and original repertoire for Arabic oud\, Middle Eastern percussion\, cittern\, Persian Santur\, Swedish nyckelharpa and the mediaeval sounds of the hurdy-gurdy\, this blend is a sonic and visual treat. \nFounded in 2018 by UK-based Portuguese percussionist Ricardo de Noronha\, the idea was to draw his collaborators into one ensemble. Santur player Nuno Silva (the only non-UK member) resides in Porto and previously worked with Ricardo in several groups\, especially on the mediaeval scene in Portugal. In 2019 Nuno studied the santur in Iran. Through his interest in mediaeval music Ricardo met top UK hurdy-gurdy player Steve Tyler\, renowned for his rhythmic and inventive style. Violinist and nyckelharpist Griselda Sanderson and cittern player Louis Bingham performed in the Radial Band with Ricardo\, and Moroccan oud player Soufian Saihi’s Arabic classical musical style forms a bridge between them all to create a unique alliance. \nNuno Silva – Persian santur \nGriselda Sanderson – violin & nyckelharpa \nSoufian Saihi – oud \nSteve Tyler – hurdy-gurdy \nLouis Bingham – cittern & tambura \nRicardo de Noronha – percussion \nMeridianum Ensemble YouTube channel \n\n\nhttps://youtu.be/CWFYjaNJD84 \n\n\nhttps://youtu.be/uk_zRa-wNUM URL:https://calstockarts.org/event/17-september-meridianum-ensemble/ CATEGORIES:Classical,Guitar,World Music END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20230907T080000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20230907T170000 DTSTAMP:20260501T165423 CREATED:20230809T124735Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230814T094817Z UID:2192-1694073600-1694106000@calstockarts.org SUMMARY:7 September: CFylm presents - A Man Called Otto DESCRIPTION:Otto Anderson is a grump who no longer sees purpose in his life following the loss of his wife. \nOtto is ready to end it all\, but his plans are interrupted when a lively young family moves in next door\, and he meets his match in quick-witted Marisol.

Expect self-written and West Country songs\, rattling folk tunes and foot-stomping ragtime and cakewalk  riffs. \nRob’s percussive finger-ballet up and down the fret board of his 100 year-old instrument is mesmerising.

. and waste one-third of it. \nLast summer’s heatwave\, which frazzled crops and left dairy cows suffering from heat stress\, showed just how vulnerable our intensive\, fossil fuel-driven food system is to climate shocks. \nDirected by Calstock’s own Bryony Stokes. \nTasty tester food in the theme of the film by Katie and Crow from 7-7.45pm\, for a donation.

His lightness of touch\, coupled with a strong musical sensibility\, fits perfectly with this thrillingly dynamic ‘international’ trio. \n  \n‘Closeness’ has received much critical acclaim since its release in September 2020\, such as: \n\nAlbum of the year 2020 – VĂ„rt Land (Norwegian newspaper)\n4/5 stars “She is one of the best contemporary jazz artists” – Dagens Industri (Swedish newspaper)\n**** and ‘Editor’s choice’ for Nov 2020 – Jazzwise (UK magazine) URL:https://calstockarts.org/event/25-june-wang-luft-falt-trio/ CATEGORIES:Jazz,Music END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20230623 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20230624 DTSTAMP:20260501T165423 CREATED:20230203T100128Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230211T145419Z UID:1695-1687478400-1687564799@calstockarts.org SUMMARY:23 June: Burd Ellen DESCRIPTION:Burd Ellen is a project featuring Debbie Armour (Alasdair Roberts\, Green Ribbons) and Gayle Brogan (Pefkin\, Electroscope).

Innovative instrumentation\, drone and sound-wash support detailed vocal work to create a unique sonic atmosphere. \nThey self-released their debut album Silver Came in 2019. Their second album\, Says The Never Beyond\, is a collection of carols and wintersong that occupy the liminal space between sacred and secular\, connecting to the deep seasonal traditions of Britain and Ireland.

Debbie Armour says “I’m a long time collector and lover of tarot\, and I’ve recently become drawn to the idea of finding parallels between interpretation of traditional song and the art of divination. Gayle and I have brought together a new collection of songs that reflect the ideas\, archetypes and imagery of the Major Arcana.” Developed on residency at Sage Gateshead\, the album also features guest appearances from Irish piper Ian Lynch (Fire Draw Near\, Lankum) and Newcastle-based composer Mark Wardlaw (Kenosist\, The Old Police House) \nBurd Ellen have appeared at Cambridge Folk Festival\, Celtic Connections\, FanĂž Free Folk Festival\, Cafe Oto\, The Glad Cafe and many other stages in the UK and Europe.

His travels have taken him the length of the UK\, across Europe and Africa\, headlining Blues and Roots festivals\, and from little French cafĂ©s to The Royal Albert Hall. \nTrevor’s music is influenced by his passion for early rural Blues\, mixed with the sounds of rhythmic African roots\, in what can only be described as his own genre of original and seemingly improvised music\, that makes him a thrilling and unique artist.  He has an immediacy and charisma that draws you close to the music\, demanding your attention.

He will be accompanied by deliciously soaring violin playing from Jo Chambers and the energetic and driving percussion of Jesse Benns\, enhancing the overall sound in a subtle but effective way.

Shot on 16 mm film\, it stars Mary Woodvine\, Edward Rowe\, Flo Crowe and John Woodvine. \nThe film was shot during the COVID-19 lockdown\, and the crew prioritised creating a small carbon footprint during production. Enys Men premiered at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival and was well received by critics. \nSet in 1973 on an uninhabited island off the Cornish coast\, a wildlife volunteer’s daily observations of a rare flower turn into a metaphysical journey that forces her as well as the viewer to question what is real and what is nightmare. \nThe only feature that suggests a continuous\, even though highly speeded up\, flow of time is the appearance of a fruticose lichen growing on the flowers over three days\, and simultaneously on the protagonist’s body.

Jim Moray may have garnered initial attention for his digitally-driven approach to traditional music\, but reflecting on his seven albums and numerous production credits it’s clear that imagination and invention are the real cornerstones of his work. \nThe cinematic vision of albums such as Skulk (2012)\, Upcetera (2016)\, and his game-changing debut Sweet England (2003) show just how far the old songs can be taken. His arrangements of traditional songs such as Gilderoy\, Horkstow Grange and Fair Margaret and Sweet William are regarded as amongst the classics of the folk genre\, while his treatment of the ballad Lord Douglas has become a must-learn for fingerstyle guitarists. \nAs Moray embarks on his third decade as a professional musician\, he can count career-defining performances at Glastonbury\, The Royal Albert Hall\, and WOMAD\, and has caught the attention of those in the know along the way. “I love this singer of old ballads”\, enthused none other than Iggy Pop\, no stranger to songs of love\, life and loss. 20 years in the business also means that his influence is being felt among a younger generation of folk musicians\, especially those who explore the wider canon and ways in which traditional music can be stretched. Frankie Archer recently spoke about how Moray’s work on Low Culture (2008) blew her mind. “It showed me for the first time what UK folk music could be”. \nNever satisfied with staying still\, the artist is still moving after shaking the folk world to its foundations twenty years ago. And in a genre where musicians reach their peak the older they get\, there’s a sense that he has only just begun \nwww.jimmoray.co.uk URL:https://calstockarts.org/event/14-may-jim-moray/ CATEGORIES:Folk,Music END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20230511 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20230512 DTSTAMP:20260501T165423 CREATED:20230210T223255Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230505T142936Z UID:1692-1683763200-1683849599@calstockarts.org SUMMARY:11 May: The Oxley-Meier Guitar Project DESCRIPTION:Listen to interview on Radio Cornwall 1440 on 5th May 2023!! \nThe Oxley-Meier Guitar Project was established ten years ago\, following these two guitarist’s tenure in the unique quartet\, ‘Eclectica!‘ In that decade\, they have recorded 7 albums together\, ranging from duet to quintet formats and have performed literally hundreds of concerts together throughout the UK and Europe. \nThey are joined by Paul Cavaciuti on drums and Ralph Mizraki on bass. \nRegardless of the size of the ensemble\, Oxley & Meier have always maintained their two aims: \n– to write guitar-based music that is exciting\, engaging and fascinating to anybody interested in music. \n– to use an expansive range of instruments in order to deliver a stylistically wide ranging programme. \nTo achieve this\, they usually use ten different guitars at their gigs. These include more unusual instruments such as:  11-string Glissantar (fretless instrument\, based on the arabic lute – the oud)\, an Electric 12-string\, a Sitar guitar & a Fretless nylon-string \nThe soundscapes are very much influenced from their various travels\, this summarised by their strap-line: “soundscapes from Turkey to Brazil“. As a result\, Oxley and Meier have performed in many of the top venues in jazz\, world music and classical venues: Ronnie Scott’s\, Musicport Festival and The Wigmore Hall\, respectively. \nExpect an evening of joyous varied fare\, performed by these two seriously established musicians that The Observer described thus: \n“When it comes to empathy\, the duet of guitar virtuosi comes close to perfection” \nOr if you are a fan of the ECM supergroup\, Oregon\, this quote from Ralph Towner will resonate: \n“This album is a wonderful example of the high level of music that can be made by combining two great guitarists/composers/improvisers such as Pete and Nicolas.

CPR and how to use an AED (defibrillator) will be covered. \nThey will be running sessions at 6pm & 7pm at the Old Chapel on 2nd May. \nIf you would like to attend one of these sessions\, please just turn up on the night. \nIf you have any question please contact Amy on amyc@cornwalltraining.com/ 01726 932293. \n\n  URL:https://calstockarts.org/event/2-may-free-cpr-defib-training-6pm-7pm/ CATEGORIES:Other END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
