... the day I arrive.
BIG Green Week festival will be back in the centre of Bristol from Saturday 6th to Sunday 21st June 2015. We’re updating this site daily with new events, so whether you’re a culture vulture, upcyclist or DIY enthusiast, we’re sure to have something for you.
Part of the programme:
Big Green Gig
The BIG Green GIG is an evening of African rhythms from Helele and young talent from Sophronie, hosted by your friendly neighbourhood one-legged existentialist stand up beat poet Chris Paradox, hosted at the Greenbank pub in Easton.
Helele is inspired by the rhythms of West Africa’s Bantu Forest. Alphonse Daudet Touna from Cameroon formed the band to ‘enrich and share his music with the world.’ Alphonse plays the Balafon (African Marimba) he made himself – adding an exotic and original sound to the music.
Chris Paradox is Your Friendly Neighbourhood One-legged Existentialist Stand-up Beat Poet and Life Engineer. “The two most important days of your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why.” Chris’s mission has evolved into helping people escape the rat race, find their purpose and make a living doing work they love.
Sophronie‘s debut single Eyes Wide is already mesmerising audiences around the UK and giving them a taste of this new artist’s sublime talent. Sophronie has been singing all her life but it was in the wake of her father’s death four years ago that she picked up his guitar, taught herself to play, started writing lyrics, and discovered music was going to be her future.
