SUMMARY:Queering the TARDIS- Doctor Who and LGBTQ+ representation
DESCRIPTION:NB: Tickets Available at the Door \nA look at the Queerness of Doctor Who\, from ideas of chosen family\, through to Queer aliens and LGBTQ+ companions. With particular reflection on the Russell T Davies era (s) and the shift towards deliberate\, visible Queerness in Doctor Who. A conversation around representation and why it matters\, the impact on a generation of Doctor Who fans\, and where the show can go from here to continue pushing LGBTQ+ representation across time and space. \n  \nHosted by Emily Garside\, author of Queer Aliens and Gay Folks\, How Russell T Davies cahnged TV. \n  \nEmily Garside is a Queer writer and LGBTQ+ educator. Beginning with a PhD on theatrical responses to the AIDS crisis and the evolution of LGBTQ theatre\, I have since expanded my work into Queer cultural history\, including writing books on TV\, Film and Welsh Queer History. Since leaving academia\, I have worked with organisations like Bishopsgate Insitute and London Playwrights to share Queer history and culture. I also work to develop diversity and inclusion in my other passions: Ice Hockey and Figure skating.  As an Asexual\, non-binary\, neurodivergent person\, I combine lived expertise with research and knowledge to educate— and occasionally entertain.

SUMMARY:Jon Crespo Quartet - Beyond Armstrong
DESCRIPTION:Jon Crespo is a musician with vast global performance and touring experience. His credits include \nLenny Kravitz\, The Beach Boys\, The Box Tops\, KC and the Sunshine Band\, The Platters\, Michael \nBall and Gareth Gates. \nBeyond Armstrong is a unique tribute to trumpets players who were inspired by and appeared on the \njazz scene after Louis Armstrong. Arguably\, one would suggest that modern jazz trumpet playing \nowes its roots and influences to him. In some way\, every trumpet player owes approach\, \nunderstanding and their sound to Armstrong. This tribute will explore and pay homage to some of \nthose players – including Miles Davis\, Tom Harrell\, Woody Shaw and more. \n \nJon Crespo – trumpet and flugelhorn \nMark Sambell – keys \nJon Goode – bass \nGreg Evans – drums
