the Hamilton House open dayCoexist presents
Welcome to the Hamilton House programme - Open Day Edition
14th June 12-6pm
What’s the Open Day all about?The Hamilton House Open Day is a celebration of the diverse hotbed of talent that sits within Stokes Croft. It is a yearly opportunity to come and experience the full range of things that are happening in this thriving hub.
There’ll be free dance tasters, open artist studios, cook-ery workshops, live music throughout the day, barbecue & community cafe, free bike maintenance, tasters of holistic treatments, a pop-up tenant shop filled to the rafters with products made within these studios, kids activities (including instrument making and storytelling), and an incredible array of speakers coming to talk on a range of social and environmental issues. It is always massively entertaining, with lots of unexpected happen-ings. For anyone whose not sure what goes on here, this is the time to come and experience it in all its glory!
What’s different from last year? More pop-ups including a secret stage, more speakers from the wider Bristol community speaking about im-portant global issues, more food and more fun.
Having invested 50k into our Community Kitchen we are ready to show it off to the world, the drop-in Indian cookery workshop is going to be a treat for foodies. Our pop-up shop has taken on an eco/natural world theme, an exciting feature in the Bristol Green Week programme. Coexist and the Hamilton House project is at it’s most abundant so there really is no better time to come and see what we’re doing. What are you most looking forward to?Stunning performances of the Hunter and Homage to Hitchcock from Kristin and Davy Maguire, beautiful

It’s the perfect session for people to get to grips with how a bicycle works and our friendly mechanics will be on hand to offer you guidance and advice. If you would like to volunteer with us but feel you need some basic skills, this is a great place to start. We have plenty of vol-unteering opportunities throughout the week, check the website for more details.

Thur12
Ephemerals & Toyface Super-classy 7-piece outfit Ephemerals all-original soul material bless their richly brassed up arrangements with Wolf, the kind of raw-voiced frontman that could make the phone book sound like Otis, Wilson or James. The indefinable Toyface, by contrast, makes songs that just unwind like an ambling phone conversation you give up trying to make sense of and just listen.
Fri13

Thur19
Phil King Phil King has a way with words (and music) that makes his highly original material instantly memorable, like well-seasoned blues, jazz and gospel classics you somehow hadn’t heard before. It helps that he’s a really great singer, whether murmuring heartbreak or belting out the blues, and a mean hand with the guitar, too.

Sun 29
Namvula The word is that Zambian singer-songwriter Namvula is the Big New Thing in world music, with anticipation for new album Shiwezwa already a hot ticket item, not least for the sizzling involvement of Led Bib bassman Liran Donin and the classic guitar cascades of Osibisa’s Kari Bannerman. But it’s her assertive vocals and the sheer strength of her material that holds the whole thing together.
Mon 30
Swallow & The Wolf Quite how two people make such an epic sound is a bit of a mystery but when Russell Swallow’s voice and guitar blend with Jess Kennedy’s keyboards and vocal harmonies there’s a completeness about the sound that can fill a room - quietly. It’s a class act, this.
