Event Details
Jesse Royal stands as one of the defining voices of modern reggae, fusing the weight of 1970s roots with a sharp, contemporary edge.
Emerging from Kingston and closely aligned with artists such as Daniel Bambaata Marley, Royal has played a central role in the reggae revival, helping restore conscious reggae to the forefront of global music.
Collaborations with artists including Protoje, Vybz Kartel and Runkus highlight both his versatility and his reach, moving seamlessly between roots, dub and more contemporary sounds most notably on “Modern Day Judas,” “Sudden Flight” (with Protoje & Sevana), “LionOrder” (feat. Protoje), “The Kalling,” and “High Tide or Low”
Rooted yet forward-facing, his music carries a distinct sense of purpose — grounded in tradition, but unmistakably shaped for the present.

The Music Of Joan Baez – Sarah Yeo
One of the UK’s high rising songwriters Sarah Yeo, performs material in her own “beautiful voice” (BBC) from Joan’s early career from the first recording, ‘Harvard Square’ and onward through her lengthy journey to date, telling pivotal stories and singing key songs from the Newport Festival days, her years in Nashville, activism around the world, her relationship both on and off the stage with Bob Dylan, and her love of recording just great songs.
The set list takes note of the current political climate and includes self penned songs ‘Diamonds and Rust’, ‘The Winds of the Old Days’, Dylan greats such as ‘Love Is Just A Four Letter Word’, ‘There But For Fortune’, ‘Farewell Angelina’ and the wonderful catalogue from songwriters Stevie Wonder, Phil Ochs, Janis Ian and not forgetting the early Folk covers, ‘The Banks of the Ohio’, ‘House of the Rising Sun’ and many more hits.
Sarah, a recent finalist in the ‘International songwriting competition’, also delves into the Spanish language repertoire Joan loved so much.
Sarah’s ‘warm rich voice’ with sweet higher notes, lends itself perfectly for this special evening of songs and stories.
As Sarah learns more about Miss Baez’s life and career, she feels she can relate to her in many ways, making the project a very personal, interesting and inspiring experience.

Doors will now open at 3pm due to the Unity Challenge 5k Run happening in the Jewellery Quarter earlier in the day.
What better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than listening to some of the finest Blues Bands from the West Midlands. We have a stellar line up for this Blues Alldayer running from 3pm til 8pm and for any music fan, this is one you won’t want to miss:
Blue Nation Fronted by powerhouse singer-guitarist Neil Murdoch, anchored by groove-master Luke Weston (bass, backing vocals), and driven by the explosive Nick Sharman on drums, this trio is igniting a new era of arena-ready blues-rock. Blue Nation fuse the swagger of classic British rock, Beatles, Cream, Zeppelin, with the modern fire of Rival Sons and Vintage Trouble. The result: riff-rich, melodic blues-rock that feels both timeless and thrillingly fresh. It’s music built to shake stadiums and win over the world.
Big Wolf Band Unfortunately due to recent Jon’s cancer diagnosis Big Wolf are no longer able to perform.
The Dirt Road Band are Steve Walwyn, guitar and vocals, Horace Panter, bass, and Ted Duggan, drums. They play hard, punchy blues-rock music that makes your heart beat faster. Walwyn has played guitar for a living for the past 45 years, 32 of those as a member of Dr Feelgood. Panter was a founding member of The Specials. He’s been doing this a while too, as has Duggan who has enjoyed spells with Banco de Gaia and more recently, Badfinger. Three highly proficient and time-served players doing what they do best!
Adams & Friends is a musical collaboration led by vintage Birmingham drummer Roy Adams. Roy has toured, recorded and gigged with the likes of Roy Wood, Ruby Turner, Mica Paris, Tony Christie, the Climax Blues Band, more.
Gabriella Jones is a singer/songwriter from Birmingham and Gibson Artist. She has played the Wireless Festival and Hard Rock Calling Festivals in Hyde Park along with the Isle of Wight Festival. Her style combines soulful vocals with rock guitar and catchy melodies you’ll be singing all the way home!

LIVE SKA & REGGAE AT THE ACTRESS & BISHOP
Saturday 5th September– 4pm
Get ready for one of the most feel-good afternoons of live music in Birmingham.
Skastuds are a high-energy ska and reggae covers band known for turning pubs into dance floors. From the first note, they bring rhythm, brass and bounce that fills the room. As a result, standing still is not an option.
The band performs upbeat ska anthems as well as smooth reggae grooves. At the same time, every song is designed to keep the crowd moving. Because of this, every Skastuds show feels more like a party than a gig.
However, it is not just about the music. The atmosphere is friendly, loud and full of smiles. Therefore, whether you are a long-time ska fan or just love live music, you will feel right at home.
Meanwhile, The Actress & Bishop provides the perfect setting. With great beer, warm vibes and a packed dancefloor, it is one of Birmingham’s best places for live music.
So, if you are looking for an upbeat Saturday session, this is it. Skastuds at The Actress & Bishop promises big tunes, great energy and a crowd that knows how to have fun.

Written and directed by Dr Carlette L Norwood
Dena thought she had found the perfect partner in Marcus—attractive, charming, attentive, and utterly devoted. But behind his captivating facade lies a shadow of control and manipulation that slowly tightens around her. As her identity begins to erode, Dena struggles to distinguish love from possession, and loyalty from submission. Isolated and unravelling, her only lifelines are her lifelong friends, Kiran and Angela, and her parents whose unwavering support may not be enough to save her. In a world where love turns toxic, Dena must summon the courage to escape—or risk losing herself completely.
Narcissism is a hot topic regarding toxic relationships. Narcissistic abuse can leave long-term mental, emotional, and physiological traumatic effects among those who have experienced and maintained non healthy interpersonal and intimate exposure to people who demonstrate or present with narcissistic traits and behaviour. These effects can include low self-esteem and self-worth, depression, panic, anxiety, sleeplessness, anger, suicidal thoughts, fear, and paranoia.

Event Details
Anthem Social returns to The Jam House on Saturday, 1st August for a full-throttle daytime session built for those who know their dancefloor history and want to have some fun. Running from 2pm through to 6pm. This one’s all about energy, nostalgia and proper hands-in-the-air moments, as Rue Jay and Pete Sherriff go back-to-back, digging deep into a heavyweight selection of 90s and 00s old school classics that defined a generation—from iconic house anthems to timeless club bangers that still hit just as hard today.
Expect a packed room, a buzzing atmosphere and that unmistakable Anthem Social vibe where everyone’s on the same wavelength from the very first drop. Bringing the support and keeping the momentum locked in are DJ Mat B and the electrifying Sick Trumpet, adding their own flavour to an already stacked line-up.
This isn’t just another party—it’s a proper throwback session, designed for those who still love it loud, proud and full of life. If you’ve been before, you already know… and if you haven’t, this is the one to experience it.

Get ready to vibe and dance all night at the hottest Reggae Party in town! A journey through
Event Details
A journey through the golden eras of the sound. Expect deep, warm rub a dub grooves from the 70s, sliding into two tone and digital dancehall heat from the 80s, then lifted right up to now with a touch of Tarrus Riley soul and modern roots energy to keep things fresh.
It’s not a shouty, frantic night. It’s a sway, smile, and feel good kind of party. Big basslines, lovers rock, conscious lyrics, and just enough uptempo fire to keep the dancefloor bubbling without losing that laid back Caribbean glow.
Temper and Brown’s snug will be warm, the rum will be flowing, and the soundtrack will be doing what reggae does best, bringing people together.
Come and start the new year properly.
One love. One rhythm. One seriously good night.

New to wine? Welcome aboard.
This laid-back evening is the perfect introduction for anyone who’s ever thought, “I like wine, but I have no idea what I’m drinking.” We’ll guide you through the basics — how to taste wine, what the different styles mean, and how to start figuring out what you enjoy.
Think of it as Wine 101, minus the exams and with a full glass in hand. Expect a fun, pressure-free atmosphere with plenty of time to ask questions (or just drink and nod — that works too). Whether you’re looking to learn or just want a relaxed night out, this is your kind of class.
Cost: £30.00

Think you know Spanish wine? Think again.
Join us for an evening exploring the depth and diversity of Spain’s vineyards—going well beyond Rioja (though of course, we’ll be pouring a few standout examples too). From crisp whites to elegant reds, this tasting is all about showcasing a side of Spain that doesn’t always get the spotlight.
Expect a relaxed, informative evening with plenty to discover, whether you’re a longtime fan or just getting started.
Great wine, good company, and maybe a new favourite or two.

The battle of the bottles begins.
Join us for an interactive wine tasting where two wine specialists go head-to-head in a series of blind wine challenges—and you decide who wins.
Each round, both tasters are given the same brief, from Big New World Red to Crisp Summer White. Their task? Choose the wine they believe best fits the challenge. You’ll taste both wines side by side, hear why each was selected, then cast your vote.
Three rounds. Six wines. One champion.
Our First Showdown
For our inaugural event, it’s a family affair as Chris Connolly takes on Abi Connolly.
Chris, long-time wine merchant, brings decades of experience and a wealth of classic wine knowledge. Across the tasting table is his daughter, Abi, whose fresh perspective and adventurous palate promise to keep Chris on his toes.
Will experience triumph over instinct? Or will a new generation claim the crown?
Only your votes will decide.
What to expect:
- Six carefully selected wines
- Three themed head-to-head challenges
- Expert insights (and a little friendly rivalry)
- Audience voting after every round
- A winning wine specialist crowned at the end of the evening
No right answers. No wrong answers. Just great wine, lively debate, and a chance to discover a few new favourites along the way.

Because great cheese deserves its moment.
