NI (France)

Four-headed monster,
the big bad Ni has left the linear roads of France
in order to live in a complex world paced
by electrical sounds and varying polyrhythms.

In its temple, shouts of the quartet make the windows crack,
a stunning nervousness makes the walls stand and, finally,
the strong foundations remove from ages to come all doubts
regarding the durability of all these things.

Inside, it is always like a squall:
children run in all directions and parents dance around the bonfire.
The waltz, the 4/4 time signature and verse and chorus structures
take one last breath before being burned to ashes at the core of this fire.

Please join us at The Carousel for a monthly social miniature-painting event hosted by Ay Up Georgina and Dan. This is an evening dedicated to painting miniatures, enjoying a nice drink, and spending time with others in a relaxed, welcoming environment.

All miniature painters are welcome — whether you paint Warhammer or any other miniatures. Experience level doesn’t matter; the focus is on community, creativity, and enjoying the hobby together.

Rambling Cinema is a pop-up cinema proving that foreign-language films can be just as accessible, fun and exciting as their English counterparts. Whether it's French The Substance, Egyptian Dodgeball, Indonesian Dredd or Bhutanese The Thick Of It, you can get all the humour, action or horror of a Hollywood production while visiting a new part of the world and seeing life through someone else's eyes. 

Willow Bay are a 3-piece indie-folk trio from Nottingham and Derbyshire, UK. The band comprises of Aaliyah, Matt & Ben who came together around a shared passion for delicate, melodic songwriting and rich instrumentation.

Since forming, the band have released a series of singles that have garnered support from BBC Introducing, LeftLion and Y Not Festival, while resonating with music lovers and fellow artists across the UK and beyond.

Their 'Evangeline' E.P is the culmination of the bands first year together and forms the backbone of their current live set.

This show will see a special line up with additional musicians performing with the trio, alongside some incredible support acts to be announced.

Come and celebrate the first chapter of Willow Bay.

Sailor Spartan Live at The Carousel

with support from Dereck and Soup

On a faraway mountaintop, eight teenage soldiers lead a regimented life watching over a hostage and a conscripted milk cow. Playing games and initiating cult-like rituals, the children run amok in the jungle. However, as factions jostle for power and anarchy threatens discipline, disaster strikes when the hostage tries to escape.

Alejandro Landes’s story of teenage guerrillas descending into anarchy is at once rooted in recent Colombian history and yet universal, creating a blend of Lord of the Flies, Apocalypse Now and a neo-Western aesthetic. A hypnotic, claustrophobic thriller bolstered by fantastic performances from young actors, it was hugely well-received on release and was Colombia's official selection for the 2020 Oscars. Rambling Cinema hosts films on the first Tuesday of every month at Carousel from around the world. Stick around afterwards for a drink and a chat about next month's film!

Get ready to rock your tote bags off at Smells Like Tote Spirit. A chilled afternoon celebrating all things tote bags and alternative music!

Hannah Grace is supported by the Women Make Music PRS Foundation. Never happier than when she’s at the piano, Hannah Grace writes songs to escape into and wants you to escape with her. She uniquely blends the sounds of soul, jazz, folk and pop with a voice that can seemingly sing anything.

Born in South Wales and now living in London, Hannah grew up idolising the queens that are Joni Mitchell, Carole King, Stevie Nicks and Beyonce (obviously). In keeping with these inspirational women, her songs are where she is both at her most vulnerable and defiant as she tries to make sense of her life and the world around her.
