Damon Albarn performing Clint Eastwood with Bristol MC K*Ners

This gig really was something for the dedicated Damonite. Tickets sold out in 3 minutes as a fan club only event, and he did not disappoint his core following. Starting with two new tracks - Lonely Press Play and the album title Everyday Robots, Albarn then took his audience through a back catalogue tour of Blur, Gorrilaz, The Good, The Bad and The Queen, as well as the joyous Rock Juice and The Moon Song.

Damon Albarn is a master of smaller, independent, venues. His engaging style and warmth fills even the cosiest of venues, but you never get the feeling his ego or acoustic prowess will extend beyond the walls of this intimate, gothic, Bristol setting. This engagement did however extend into the consciousness of the audience that night, with everyone a riding high on a sense that the former Blur frontman will remember the evening as much as the punters as he blasted out Last Living Souls accompanied by his band, The Heavy Seas.

Next came the dedication of the Gorrilaz’s number Slow Country to Massive Attack which harked back to not only the venues status as the birthplace of the Bristol Sound, but also to alluring atmosphere that has drawn in the aforementioned trip-hop artists and The Prodigy amongst others. Securing these acts is a result of Trinity’s strong musical heritage, and the passion for the intimate, incognito, atmosphere that artists of the calibre of Damon Albarn obviously have.

His crowd pleasing encore involved an 8 strong gospel choir from East London, who supported 2 new songs; Mr Tembo and Heavy Seas of Love. But what got the crowd romping and jumping was a version of Gorillaz’s Clint Eastwood that featured Bristol-based paramedic K*Ners, who when he is not rescuing the sick, rescued the hip-hop sections of the song due to a last minute drop out of Damon’s preferred Snoop Dogg wannabe.

It was refreshing to see Albarn finish on the soporifically sombre - This is a Low, which was both the low note, and the high point, of this particular performance.

Artist impression of the new slide at Trinity

Inspired by the campaign to install a water-slide on Park Street, plans are under way to install an external slide around the Trinity Centre building. The special 'rainbow' slide measures almost 22m in height and will take centre users on a journey from the rooftop of the grade II* listed building, all the way to the bottom.

Centre Manager, Emma Harvey said: "We've been thinking of an easier way to get people down from the upstairs of Trinity for some time - we explored options such as fireman's poles and conventional escalators - this option seemed the most in-keeping with the building and organisation."

As well as the new slide, the second phase of development works will also include installation of loud-speakers on the towers - replacing the toll of the bells in the tower, the speakers will play Jimmy Cliff's I Can See Clearly Now on the hour as a way of keeping everyone aware of the time of day.

Banks live performance at the Trinity Centre 2014

Thu 20th March 2014

LA’s Banks ploughs a polished furrow in deeply personal themes delivered as powerful sultry vocals over often fervently moody electronica.

On this UK tour she has been joined by LuckyMe’s resident DJ and darling of Rinse FM and Radio One, Eclair Fifi, here ushering in the audience with a selection that mines the seam where r’n’b meets bleeding edge, post-dubstep production. It’s an at once accessible and thrilling alliance - and the perfect fanfare for a visiting artist that has leant so heavily on the production values of the UK’s taste-making underground.

Taking the stage to sinister scene-setter Before I Ever Met You, backlit and misted in dry ice, the slight American cuts a gothic silhouette as she sashays back and forth from the shadows.

On stage, Banks is flanked by two musicians, one at a drum kit, the other alternating between keys and guitar, augmenting the backing track. There is a synergy at play here, and with a lighting production that perfectly encapsulates the intensity of her sound, the show is at once intimate and powerful.

Following the haunting This Is What It Feels Like Now the more upbeat Change reveals a little of the true vocal power our host can wield. Then just when it seems the whole evening might be trotted out in the same vain she lets rip on Brain.

Perhaps because this is the first night of the tour, from this point we see a more relaxed and confident performance. We are treated to a debut airing and a little more in the way of conversation as the mood gradually lightens through Warm Water towards something of a soulful, even sunny, groove.

The dark and light of ‘Waiting Game’ brings the night full circle before our host announces her last of the evening is to be another 'world premier', a mild disappointment of crude r’n’b-informed pop, perhaps hinting at a more American aesthetic for the forthcoming album.

This would be a shame, for us in the UK at least, as it is through the unapologetic intelligence and atmospherics of her material to date that she stands a greater longevity in hearts and minds over here.

Vice & Virtue Spring update

Vice & Virtue volunteer project-team

Spring is a sign of the harvest to come, but a harvest requires many hands. After a highly competitive application process we recruited local historian, writer and publicist Mike Mason to the role of archival researcher. Mike will look through the local and wider archives to find those buried documents that contextualise the oral history of Old Market.

Since January the number has risen to 14 - Edson has supported and encouraged the volunteers to identify their own mini research projects in Old Market.

Vice & Virtue is committed to give all our volunteers as much support as possible to pursue their research. With this mind we are running research sessions during the course of the project.

Dr Madge Dresser led our first training session on a sunny day in March at Arts West Side. Madge gave a brilliant introduction to the value of oral history – what it can and, as importantly what it cannot always tell us.

Our next training session will be an introduction to the hidden gems at Bristol Central Library on the 22 of March - please get in touch to register your interest.

The research is gaining momentum. The team has gathered a wealth of anecdotes and have begun conducting formal interviews. Members of the public have also shared posters from the hey day of the former Empire Theatre. More material will undoubtedly follow.

We are planning a series of events and talks to spread the History of Old Market. Our first event a partnership with the LGBT Forum held on the 20 February provided a number of leads as well as strengthening our connections with the Forum.

Since our first meeting we have established a regular weekly drop-in session for volunteers and members of the public (Tuesdays). The vibe is chilled and supportive, informative and fun. We are still looking for volunteers, so if you would still like to be involved in this exciting project email story@3ca.org.uk or call Edson on 9351200 Mon- Weds to find out more.

The final countdown begins

Original stain glass windows revealed

We are heading into the final two weeks leading up to our exciting Re-Launch here on Saturday 8th March and the building is shaping up nicely, thanks to gcp Chartered Architects and our building contractor, CW Duke who have been working hard these past few months.

The beautiful new hall upstairs is getting some fantastic responses from all those who have been privileged to a sneak peek.

The drapes are up, as well as the lighting rig and fully functioning underfloor heating. There are now just one or two finishing touches before you all get to see this exceptional new space!

The building boasts some absolutely stunning windows that have now been restored to their former glory. These painted glass windows really stand out in contrast to the modern interior, as well as letting in a remarkable amount of light that perfectly bounces off the new wooden floor.

We are also pleased to announce that the striking new graffiti mural is now finished and is certainly brightening up our now impressive looking reception area. This phenomenal piece is all thanks to the incredibly talented 'Silent Hobo' and 'Mr.Riks' – Make sure you pause for a moment to take in this busy, colourful and inspiring piece when you drop by. We are hoping for this shiny new reception area to be completed next week when we see the installation of the all important reception desk and doors.

Finally we will be topping everything off with our new signs and some light finishing touches to ensure everything looks perfect!

Headlining the Trinity Re-Launch evening will be the uniquely gifted Adrian Utley (Portishead) - Adrian will be bringing together an orchestra of electric guitar players to interpret Terry Riley's 'In C' with special guest, local emerging talent, Young Echo (Jabu / El Kid / Vessel / Rider Shafique and Killing Sound).

The night owls will be able to join us in a Re-launch After Party where Smithy & Mighty will headline alongside PEV B2B ASUSU, Gilly and even more from the Young Echo collective.
