Trinity Garden Party Feat. Dub Mafia
Trinity's Annual Garden Party promises a stellar mix of music, arts, games and (hopefully!) sunshine
The Trinity Centre’s annual music, arts & craft extravaganza will take place on Sunday 15 May, with an eclectic mix of live music performances headlined by Bristol's own Dub Mafia and compèred by Mistri - Ujima FM.
The afternoon begins at 12pm, with Trinity’s resident DJ 'Read' and a first-class show packed with soul-funk, scratching, and calypso that will have you jumping from the start, while 'Bzzzpoke' kicks off it's bee themed activities and Kirsten Sims leads the arts & crafts.
Hot Buttered Soul will be blasting out old and new tracks to feed your ear drums while Urban Funkstar (Frances Mary, Little Miss DJ & Doctor Moody) collide on stage in a stellar explosion of exquisitely produced supersonic dance floor killers. Trinity's home grown talent Dinnall will show off his dance hall funky beats and great vocal arrangements later in the afternoon. Jon Kennedy (a regular DJ around Europe) has travelled the globe with his records, making it as far afield as China, Malaysia and Japan will be landing on Trinity's stage to close the day.
There is such a large mix of artists this year, were not just about electronic vibes but we have some enlightening bands like The Duckworths & The Doubtful Guests who will bring a chilled and melodic vibe to Trinity's Garden Party. Working up to our headline act will be The Scribes, a new wave hip hop four-piece formed in 2002 (touring all around the country supporting the likes of Pendulum, Example & Foreign Beggars) who have accomplished an outstanding performance at 2010’s Glastonbury festival.
Headliners Dub Mafia will hit Trinity with their high energy and on stage presence at 7pm. The 8 piece band will bring an urban, funky, dub feel which will make your head nod and your body pop. Dub Mafia are a band whose originality and uniqueness speaks for itself. As one of only a handful of live dance acts nationally, the band set themselves apart from all others. They have had a smashing European tour and festival tour around the UK. This should be an exciting act to see, not one to miss.
All these acts will perform against a colourful backdrop of locally-sourced craft, food and drink stalls in addition to some more unusual offerings. Cyclists in particular will be keen to take advantage of the free Bicycle Recycling and Maintenance workshop, from 12pm to 6pm, so bring your unwanted bikes, parts, take the donated bits you need or build yourself a fresh bike from what you find!
Dr Bike will donate complete bikes fixed on the day to local charitable organisations.
