Sarah Corbett is the founder of Craftivist Collective a social enterprise which uses the technique of craftivism to engage people in social justice issues. Sarah founded Craftivist Collective when after years of marches, signing protests and working on campaigns for large charities, she began to doubt the effects of some conventional activism and didn't feel that she fitted in to many activist groups (especially as an introvert). The time felt right to add a slower and less aggressive approach to the activism toolkit not to replace other forms of activism but to add more tools to do activism effectively. She wrote A Little Book of Craftivism which was published in 2013. How To Be A Craftivist: the art of gentle protest. See her video: Why shouting quietly gets you heard

Eleanor Brown is a songwriter, musician and creative activist who believes that words, music and rhythm have the power to connect, express and uplift. "I believe that art is necessary in these times. That songs have power. I write them because it feels natural and necessary. I write to record, remember, contain, release, grapple, make sense, make whole and give hope. I write songs that are unafraid to speak of the dark and songs that celebrate the light. I write songs that support us in rising together." Eleanor recently walked 900 miles around the coast of Wales and before that lived and worked on an organic farm.

Ombiviolum: We're delighted to welcome back Ombiviolum - one of the most exciting recent fusion experiments to emerge from the rich pool of African-Western crossover. Central to its music is the 'mbira', the 'thumb-piano of the ancestors' from the Shona people in Zimbabwe. Western musicians bring their own unique take on Zimbabwean mbira music with instruments such as double bass, violin, guitar, Irish Whistle, Doudouk (Armenian double reed flute), frame drum, Spanish cajon, vocals and dance. Ombiviolum transport their audience into a world where the rhythmic meets the lyrical in an evocative landscape of heart and healing, where you are free to breathe it all in, to sing along or boogie!

Ombiviolum will be running an African Dance workshop during the afternoon so you can get in the spirit before their gig on Saturday evening!
