Utley & Parish to collaborate on 'Trinity anthem'
Utley & Parish will work on a musical collaboration to support Trinity's Notes for Notes appeal
Adrian Utley is best known for being one third of the 'Bristol Sound' founders Portishead.
A guitarist and producer, Utley has also recorded under various names and participated in several recorded and live collectives, such as the occasional This I Dig, Stonephace, Adrian Utley & Mount Vernon Arts Lab, and Adrian Utley's Guitar Orchestra, which performed for Trinity's relaunch in 2014.
John Parish is a world-renowned musician, songwriter, composer and record producer and long-term collaborator with PJ Harvey.
He has also worked with many other bands including Eels, Tracy Chapman, Giant Sand, and Sparklehorse.
The pair are collaborating to create the Trinity Anthem to support Trinity's Notes for Notes fundraising appeal, to raise vital funds towards the £500,000 cost of essential conservation repairs.
Trinity is a late Georgian building, so repairs to the north side roof, windows and stonework will help to ensure Trinity can remain 'a centre for the people' for future generations.
This is the first time that Utley and Parish will collaborate on a musical project of this nature and they are both looking forward to working together to support the Trinity Centre, which is in critical need of repair.
"The Trinity Centre has a fantastic history as a music venue, stretching back over forty years, with some great acts having played there, and we're supporting its future by creating the Trinity Anthem to encourage people to donate to the Appeal. The building is great, but its the work that goes on inside by the Trinity Community Arts charity that's important, so we want to keep a roof over their heads and see the charity doing what they do best for another forty years at least!" (John Parish)
Notes for Notes
The Notes for Notes appeal aims to raise £20,000 towards the £500,000 Conservation Project to carry out essential repairs to the much-loved Trinity Centre.
For every every £5 raised for the Notes for Notes campaign, Trinity will exchange one musical note.
When we reach 4,000 musical-notes we will launch 'the Trinity Anthem' - a unique piece of music, created by Adrian Utley & John Parish, to celebrate the diverse musical heritage of the centre and city of Bristol.
We hope that people who hold Trinity close to their hearts will support the Conservation Project and help us raise vital funds to help secure the centre's future.
