Links for October 10th

Cut-Out
Not quite sure what the deal is with this one. They’ve got a DIY print studio and are looking for people to submit designs for them to use on T-shirts and so on. A physical shop is apparently coming in summer 09, in the meantime they’re up online with a website (coming soon) and this […]

Halloween in Birmingham

Halloween might not be my bag but at least it’s an excuse to put some interesting events on.
Aside from the Ikon Eastside closing party there are a fair number of Halloween-themed things going on. These are they (all happening on Friday 31 October, except the last two):

The National Trust are putting on events in the […]

Finding your way around Artsfest

Artsfest is a big sprawling beast of a festival and a difficult one to wrangle from a listings perspective. A few people have chipped in with their take on how things could/should be presented but for me, while all of them help in some way, none of them really hit the nail on the head. […]

Artsfest 2008 - a pre-emptive rummage

I found this summary of Artsfest 2008 over at CLUB:

Friday is funny light show and parade day
Saturday is fireworks day
Sunday is Kerrangfest day with the Levellers

Which is pretty good but, although the official programme’s not out yet, I’ve been having a bit of a rummage about to see what’s on.
Friday
I’ve already mentioned Light Night. One […]

Grab free tickets for Camille O’Sullivan at the Town Hall

It’s competition time again! Well, if a first-come-first-served grab can count as a competition.
Camille O’Sullivan is currently at the Edinburgh Festival and her show, La Fille Du Cirque, is collecting 5 star reviews like they’re going out of fashion. She sings songs by Nick Cave, Tom Waits, Jacques Brel and Kirsty MacColl and generally looks […]

Capsule and Fierce present Julian Cope

A perfect storm of Birmingham creative scene interestingness is happening on Monday 26 May with Capsule producing an event for the Fierce Festival at the really-rather-good Town Hall (who seem to be widening the scope of the events they’re putting on).
Julian Cope will be presenting his lecture entitled ‘Ancient Worship Of The Gods Beyond Rome’, […]
