Picnic in the Park – Circus

Comments Off on Picnic in the Park – Circus

Part of The Culture House’s long running summer programme, Picnic in the Park takes place on Sunday afternoons in August, within the beautiful surroundings of People’s Park – a Victorian park in central Grimsby.

This free programme brings the under-used bandstand to life with national, regional and local live music, inviting residents and visitors to come along, relax, bring a picnic and enjoy. The programme celebrates local talent, hosting young musicians including youth bands and choirs and enables residents to experience new and familiar sounds across world music, jazz, classical, indie and more.

 

Alongside this, there’ll be:

  • Free creative activities for children
  • Plus fantastic activities as part of the brand new Own Your Heritage Programme with Unseen Arts and birdhouse.
  • Children, young people and their families can find out more about the history of People’s Park while taking part in aerial circus activities and sketching.

There’s also a chance for young people to gain a ‘Discover Arts Award’ on the day (can be finished at home) by taking part in activities and interviewing the artists there, all with the help of their families.

 

With much more to be announced, we’re excited to welcome you!

 

Thanks to our sponsors, AP Robinson, Orsted, Harrison Ices, Ramsdens International. A big thanks to Scops Trust for supporting this and next year’s local and regional music programme. We aim to support local talent while also bringing you something new!

The Rollin’ Stoned

Comments Off on The Rollin’ Stoned
…. the nearest thing to the real article” was the view of one reviewer who claims to have seen them all in ‘The Times’, “…. about as true to the originals as you can get” raved another and “Just like the real thing” enthused rock star photographer Gered Mankowitz at his recent private view. Indeed Keith Richards’ own mother, Doris, was kind enough to describe us as “outstanding” and fit to “stand in for the Stones” which is about as good an endorsement as any could wish. Well we could go on, but you get the idea, it’s not just enthusiastic fans who rate The Rollin Stoned so highly, it’s the people in the know and those from the Stones’ inner circle.
With a Rollin Stoned show, the costumes are shamelessly camp, gaudy and absolutely fab, the instruments genuinely vintage and the wit irreverent. However while the tongue is never far from the cheek we make sure it is never to the detriment of the music. This band is not to be confused with the grotesque parody on parody ‘Stella Street’-Lite Stones bands that abound, nor a bunch of seasoned old pros, opportunistically hitched on to the “Tribute Bandwagon” for an easy ride. What clearly comes across to audiences seeing the band at work is the passion we all have for the music of what is, cliche or not, “The Greatest Rock’n’Roll Band” the world has seen.
A typical two hour show includes not only all the classic crowd pleasing hits, but is spiced with enough eclectic selections from the deeper recesses of Stones Album archives to satisfy the most demanding of “Buffs”, all performed with the same vibrantly authentic attack and raw energy that characterised the original Stones shows in their prime.
For those who witnessed the Stones – Brian Jones et al – in their hey Day, this is a chance to revisit lost youth, for the rest of you, now’s your chance to see what all the fuss was about.
