An evening with Miriam Margolyes in Trinity's Fyfe Hall

Taking a break from filming the new series of SKY ONE's Trollied, Miriam visited one of Bristol's most-loved arts venues. She met with the Trinity team, young people from The Truth About Youth project and theatre group Sedated by a Brick.

BAFTA winning veteran of stage and screen, Miriam has achieved success on both sides of the Atlantic. Despite her globe-trotting success, Miriam has maintained a strong commitment to supporting grass roots theatre and arts and received her OBE in 2002 for her services to drama.

Miriam was introduced to Trinity by Ujima FM host, local activist and Trinity board member, Paulette North. Miriam was impressed by the Centre's work nurturing young talent, commenting that, “young people need encouragement and a nudge”.

In a statement about her new role, Miriam said; “It’s a privilege to be invited to be a Patron of the TRINITY CENTRE. These days, the Arts have to fight for their place in our society & I saw when I visited Trinity that it is not only committed to encouraging and fostering the Arts in Bristol, but also to ensure young people from diverse backgrounds experience all aspects of Art & enable them to realise their dreams. And the Trinity Centre building is a delight-the theatre space is one I look forward to inhabiting.”

Emma Harvey, Centre Manager for the Trinity Centre said: "It was fantastic to meet Miriam and see such genuine enthusiasm for our activities. Working with Miriam will help to raise the profile of theatre created at a community level and support the development of talented young actors. We are incredibly grateful for her support.”

Miriam Margolyes OBE - biography

Born in Oxford, England in 1941 and educated at Newnham College, Cambridge, Miriam Margolyes is a award-winning actress who achieved success on both sides of the Atlantic.

Winner of the BAFTA Best Supporting Actress award in 1993 for The Age of Innocence, she also received Best Supporting Actress at the 1989 LA Critics Circle Awards for her role in Little Dorrit and a Sony Radio Award for Best Actress in 1993 for her unabridged recording of Oliver Twist.

In 2002, H.M The Queen awarded her the Order of the British Empire for her services to Drama.

As part of Superact's UK wide Our Big Gig over 7,000 musicians will be performing as part of country’s biggest music festival, between 11-13 July.

“Just as football has united people this summer at the World Cup, so too will music, and we hope Our Big Gig will bring communities closer together.” Katharine Lane, Director of Superact

“Live music is a great way of getting people from all different backgrounds and from right across the country involved in their local community. With a weekend of free entertainment thrown into the bargain, the Our Big Gig weekend will help turn strangers and neighbours into friends and encourage lots of people to get involved in music, in some cases for the first time.” Stephen Williams, Minister for Communities

"Our Big Gig is a fantastic platform for aspiring and talented musicians to showcase their music within local communities. With music making opportunities for all and a wide variety of musical genres being performed, Our Big Gig will support the musicians of tomorrow and entertain all who attend" Janie Orr, Corporate Social Responsibility, Universal Music Group International

“For the second year running government, Superact and the music industry have worked together to arrange this huge series of free concerts to bring thousands of people together through music. This year’s line ups will be the most exciting and diverse we have seen yet.” Darren Henley of Classic FM

Here in Bristol, people of all ages are invited to attend Our Big Gig at the Trinity Centre, this Sunday, 13 July 2pm-6pm. Emma, Centre Manager at Trinity said: “Our Big Gig is a great chance for families and people of all ages to come down and enjoy our lovely outdoor space here at the Trinity Centre. Our new playground will be open for kids of all ages to explore and the garden offers a city centre green oasis, perfect for bringing communities together.”

With a range of great acts and activities scheduled including Future Dub Orchestra, Baraka and African Blues Connection, Wild Lu Trek performances: Bubble Lady & Bumble Bee Lady, C-Froo, Hi Life Hi Fi plus stall holders, food and themed cocktails, it promises to be a day to remember. We also have activities for children and families including mask making and drumming workshops, as well as great food from Fi-Real Caribbean Food, The Spotless Leopard and plenty of cakes!

Jamell, Community Event Organiser at Trinity said: “Our Big Gig is going to be a great day. Our new Creative Interns have done a great job at pulling together the perfect line up on a limited budget to create a family friendly, fun and exciting programme for the afternoon. In keeping with the Samba World Cup Trinity will be hosting a Carnival themed afternoon of fun and celebration for all the family featuring Carnival themed drinks, decor and live music in the build-up to the Big Final.”

About Our Big Gig

Across the country between 11-13 July, Our Big Gig is expected to attract audiences of over 200,000 to free events designed to promote wellbeing and bring together communities through music. 2,000 volunteers will be helping to host 177 performances, workshops and communal events offering opportunities to listen and to take part. Click here to view event locations on the interactive map.

Our Big Gig is an Inspired by 2012 project which aims to keep the legacy of the 2012 Olympics and Paralympics alive by bringing communities together. In 2012 more than 200 community-led performances attracted 200,000 people on the closing day of the Paralympics, and last summer’s Our Big Gig saw over 200,000 people attend free concerts.

About Superact

Our Big Gig is organised by Superact, a not-for-profit organisation which uses participatory arts and music to deliver social impact projects nationally and internationally.

After our highly successful Creative Play Day back in April, we are getting ready to launch a weekly drop in session for the under 5’s and their carers, in partnership with 'Parents for Play' and 'Children’s Scrapstore', this summer.

We are looking for a core group of volunteers to help lead and run these sessions, launching on Wednesday 9th July. Sessions will run 10 am - 12.30pm with the structure of an organized activity followed by ‘freeplay’.

This summer Arts West Side will also run a pilot project to offer adults with learning difficulties informal arts activities. We are looking for volunteers to help run and deliver these sessions.

We are looking for volunteers who have experience in the arts or working with vulnerable adults. The pilot is set to launch later in August.

All our volunteers are fully supported by the Arts West Side Project Coordinator.

For an informal chat about these roles, please call Sarah 0771403 6505 or email bentleg@3ca.org.uk

Roger's talk on the 1932 Riots was full of surprises. After a clear and incisive contextualization of the Riot, Roger gave us a lively and provocative story of the clashes between the Police and the unemployed workers. Along the way he revealed the fractures in the Labour movement which led to the marginalisation of the Unemployed Workers, the sheer brutality of the police attacks, and the resilience of the unemployed workers as they continued to protest despite sustained harassment.

Although Old Market was a crucial point, this was in fact a Bristol story as crowds of Bristolians came out to support the unemployed workers, sometimes even joining in the riots on the side of the rioters.

In the Q & A that followed, it became clear there were striking continuities & differences between the public response to austerity then and now.

Roger was the first of our talks for the Vice & Virtue project. See here the full list of upcoming talks and details of the project.

Following a spate of incidents, we are calling on all forces to gather together to help us tidy and repair our Trinity Community Garden, this Sunday 29 June from 11am onwards.

Over the past few weeks our much-loved project - which provides a unique inner-city oasis and is a base for activities with children and families, adults with mental health issues and refugee groups - has been hit by a spate of vandalism attempts and fires, one of which has caused serious damage to our Outdoor Kitchen.

Following these incidents, many people have come forward to show their support. We would like to give thanks to all those who have offered to help. Special thanks must go to Incredible Edible Bristol who have generously donated £200 towards repairing the kitchen, as well as The Bristol Wood Recycling Project who have offered to donate wood needed for the rebuild.

We are calling on willing and able volunteers to take part in the mass volunteering day this Sunday, to help clear the site ready for the kitchen-rebuild. Come along, lend a helping hand and share in a celebratory communal lunch made from home-grown ingredients.

If you are unable to help out on the day but would like to show your support you can Text TGDN13 £[the amount you want to donate] to 70070 to make a donation to the Trinity Garden Project.

We are also looking for donations of the following materials to repair the Outdoor Kitchen:

• 15 x straw bales
• sand clay
• 2 x 4m long 4'' diameter round posts
• short self-tapping screws
• 2 x double glazed doors
• 4 x wood shutters
• 12 good hinges
• and a partridge in a pear tree!

We are also hosting Our Big Gig Sunday 13 July with all donations collected on the day going towards the garden project.

Our Community Garden was the victim of vandalism, after the outdoor kitchen was set on fire on the early hours of Tuesday 17th June.

Bristol Fire Brigade were called to The Trinity Centre (where the community garden is based) at 3:16 am. They said no-one was believed to have been inside the single-storey outdoor building when the fire started.

Police will investigate the incident, but the cause of the fire is unknown.

The space was built as an outdoor kitchen with the help of an Awards for All grant in 2012 and volunteers had been working on it over the last 2 years, giving their time and resources to improve the space.

Trinity Centre's Manager said "The Community Garden volunteers have done a tremendous amount of work and we feel really sad for them. There is quite a lot of damage."

One of the Community Garden volunteers said "It's really sad to see something like this happen, after we have all worked so hard over the years to keep a welcoming space for the community"

She also said she hoped activities by the groups who used the outdoor kitchen and garden could continue as normal, adding: "It is going to be a lot of work to get everything back to normal but we will hopefully get the support of the community and the people who care about the space"

It will cost the community group hundreds to repair the damage done to the space.

The Trinity Community Garden is a community led, beautiful food growing space which aims to connect people with nature in their own community. The garden also has an orchard, poly-tunnel, a naturally built playground with an outdoor stage and a compost toilet.

The community projects that use the garden grow, forage and cook in the space so that participants get to experience truly sustainable living and the complete food cycle. The space also provides a place for workshops, children's quests, community events and gatherings.

The Trinity Centre will be dedicating the next community event, The Big Gig on Sun 13^th July, to the Community Garden, to help raise funds to repair the damage done.

The Community Garden group will be putting out a list of resources they need to re-build in the next couple of days and are already planing a few days to do the work, so please let us know if you can help.

If you would like to donate funds, please text TGDN13 [the amount you want to donate] to 70070 to donate to the Trinity Community Garden Project or donate to our Garden Appeal

Arts West Side is getting ready to deliver new and improved Healthy Eating sessions in August.

Trinity Community Garden, Trinity Road, BS2 0NW.

This is a project funded by Awards for All

This gig really was something for the dedicated Damonite. Tickets sold out in 3 minutes as a fan club only event, and he did not disappoint his core following. Starting with two new tracks - Lonely Press Play and the album title Everyday Robots, Albarn then took his audience through a back catalogue tour of Blur, Gorrilaz, The Good, The Bad and The Queen, as well as the joyous Rock Juice and The Moon Song.

Damon Albarn is a master of smaller, independent, venues. His engaging style and warmth fills even the cosiest of venues, but you never get the feeling his ego or acoustic prowess will extend beyond the walls of this intimate, gothic, Bristol setting. This engagement did however extend into the consciousness of the audience that night, with everyone a riding high on a sense that the former Blur frontman will remember the evening as much as the punters as he blasted out Last Living Souls accompanied by his band, The Heavy Seas.

Next came the dedication of the Gorrilaz’s number Slow Country to Massive Attack which harked back to not only the venues status as the birthplace of the Bristol Sound, but also to alluring atmosphere that has drawn in the aforementioned trip-hop artists and The Prodigy amongst others. Securing these acts is a result of Trinity’s strong musical heritage, and the passion for the intimate, incognito, atmosphere that artists of the calibre of Damon Albarn obviously have.

His crowd pleasing encore involved an 8 strong gospel choir from East London, who supported 2 new songs; Mr Tembo and Heavy Seas of Love. But what got the crowd romping and jumping was a version of Gorillaz’s Clint Eastwood that featured Bristol-based paramedic K*Ners, who when he is not rescuing the sick, rescued the hip-hop sections of the song due to a last minute drop out of Damon’s preferred Snoop Dogg wannabe.

It was refreshing to see Albarn finish on the soporifically sombre - This is a Low, which was both the low note, and the high point, of this particular performance.

Fans secured tickets by pre-ordering and purchasing the new album, with a ticket limit of two per-person. A limited number of tickets went on sale to the general public Friday 25 April 2014 at 9am but sold out within three-minutes.

Damon Albarn has performed at Trinity Bristol on previous occasions with The Good, The Bad And The Queen and, most recently in 2010 as part of a Gorillaz fan-club tour.

We are very excited to share great news from the Hype Dance crew who have recently won 1st place at the XM British Open Street Dance Weekend 2014.

The competition for all ages and abilities took place at Haven Golden Sands Holiday Park (Lincolnshire) from the 28th to the 30th March.

Hype smashed it even though they had 1 man down because of an injury and changed the mix 10 minutes before showtime! We are proud of all of you, coming back to Bristol with 37 trophies, so much talent from age 7 all the way to 17. You all have represented Hype Dance Company to the fullest, so well done!

See their amazing routine on their youtube channel

If you are inspired after seeing that, then join the crew! Hype Dance classes at Trinity are on Wednesdays from 6pm.
