SUMMARY:People's Emergency Briefing on Nature and Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Abergavenny District Churches Together and Abergavenny Fairtrade Forum are hosting a showing of the important Peoples Emergency Briefing Film followed by a 45 minute discussion about what it means for our community and what we can do. The film brings together 9 leading UK scientists and experts with the latest evidence and why it matters for extreme weather\, food security\, health and cost of living. At the end of the evening Fairtrade tea and coffee and biscuits or cakes will be available. The event is being held during Fairtrade Fortnight. Climate change is affecting us all but the poorest countries in the world are disproportionately affected despite making a lower contribution to carbon emissions. Many Fairtrade farmers have been adversely affected. We look forward to welcoming you to this event. Places are free but limited so please book now to ensure you have a place and remember to cancel if you can no longer attend so your place can be given to someone else.

SUMMARY:wall2wall Jazz Festival - Roger Beaujolais Spin Quartet
DESCRIPTION:BMJ is delighted to host Roger Beaujolais’ Spin Quartet on our opening night of thewall2wall Jazz Festival!\nRoger is a player that one could look to in defining the word ‘virtuosic’; his ability is ferocious – but this doesn’t at all mean that he can’t also coax beautiful harmonies and sweet melodies from the instrument!\nHe is one of only a few vibes players that has really mastered the art of playing with four mallets. Roger’s ability on the vibraphone\, coupled with his consummate musicianship has led him to an international career which has been (and continues to be) both varied and prolific in its output.\nHis own projects have ranged from Acid Jazz to straight-ahead\, and he has been hired toper form or record with such diverse A-listers as Robert Plant\, Morrissey\, Kirsty MacColl and Snowboy. In the jazz field\, Roger has worked with almost everybody at the top of the UK jazz scene and currently leads a top-notch trio based in Italy.\nThis particular line up was born earlier this year\, at a sold out show at The Spin Jazz Club in Oxford\, Joining Roger for this performance will be Pete Oxley on Guitar (Hejira\, Oxley Meier Guitar Project)\, Andy Hamill on Bass (Laura Mvula\, Van Morrison)\, and Alex Goodyear on drums (Yetii\, Jon Lloyd\, John Law).

SUMMARY:wall2wall Jazz Festival - The Welsh New Wave
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to present the cream of the next generation Welsh Jazz talent – pianist Ross Hicks and\nsaxophonist Dan Newberry. Both are graduates of the RWCMD in Cardiff and are making names for\nthemselves in the wider jazz community.\nRoss Hicks embodies technical virtuosity\, emotional commitment and soulful intensity – swinging\nlike Oscar Peterson or grooving over the fiery Cuban songs by Buena Vista Social Club\, both major\ninfluences. His debut album Three Elms is out now on all streaming platforms.\nDan Newberry is one of the most in demand saxophonists in the area\, able to bring feel\, fire and\nfreshness to any project. Dancing from one idea to the next\, he is a chameleon equally at home\nplaying funk or over the most demanding contemporary Jazz and yet is still instantly identifiable as\nhimself. Dan’s debut album\, recorded in the Czech Republic last year is due for release soon.\nThey are joined by the regular BMJ house band of Jack Mac (saxes)\, Nick Kacal (double bass) and\nRyan Thrupp (drums) – also known as GinnTronic – the resident pop-jazz deconstructionists at Lab 22\nin Cardiff.\nJoin us for two sets of originals and standards that are sure to be swinging\, singing and delivering!

SUMMARY:Reconnect
DESCRIPTION:This is the first in the W·I·L·D® Wellbeing Experience series\, a half-day spent gently\, in the company of Nature. A chance to slow right down. To soften. To listen. To wonder. \nTogether we’ll explore what it might mean to move from DOing into BEing\, giving ourselves permission to pause\, to let curiosity take the lead over certainty\, and to sit with “I don’t know” for a while\, rather than rushing to fill it. \nThere’s nothing to perform here. Nothing you need to arrive already knowing. Simply conversation\, walking\, silence\, reflection\, and a few gentle practices along the way\, all held with care. \nThis is for you if:\n– you’ve spent a long time being the strong one\, quietly holding it all together for everyone else\n– if slowing down feels like something you’re curious about\, even if you’re not quite sure how\n– if you find yourself longing for a deeper relationship with yourself\, with Nature\, or with life itself\, but aren’t sure where to begin\n– or if you’re simply craving a few hours of genuine permission to pause\, breathe\, and be. \nYou don’t need any experience\, or anything to prepare. Come just as you are.

Jamie McCredie is one of the UK’s finest solo guitarists and busiest session musicians.\nAfter winning BBC Radio Guitarist of the Year at the age of 19\, he established himself as a distinctive voice on the instrument\, blending fiery blues-inflected jazz with deep classical knowledge and exceptional technical facility.\nHe has appeared on some of the world’s largest stages – including Glastonbury\, Coachella\, Montreux and the North Sea Jazz Festival – as well as at intimate venues such as Ronnie Scott’s and Cadogan Hall.\nHe has toured and recorded extensively around the world\, working with a diverse range of artists including James Morrison\, Roísin Murphy\, Emeli Sandé\, Will Young\, Joss Stone\, Beverly Knight\, Kid Creole\, Tokio Myers\, Gilbert O’Sullivan\, Robbie Williams\, K.T. Tunstall\, Steps\, and on numerous film\, television and radio sessions.\nAs a producer and engineer\, Jamie McCredie recorded\, mixed and performed on ‘Weathering The Storm’\, for which he received numerous Record of the Week accolades.
