Start-up and Grow: Two day Creatives Workshop

In this two-day workshop we'll be joined by expert speakers who'll be going through some of the 'need to knows' as a maker, creator or crafter. From pricing your products to taking photographs and boosting your digital presence.

Over the two-days we'll have core talks and breakout rooms covering:

Day one – Friday 10th January

Dressed To Kill

You wanted the best? You got 'The Best' - The Ultimate tribute to KISS!

DRESSED TO KILL - Europe's First, and the world's longest-running tribute to KISS - and since 1990 they've played clubs and theatres throughout the UK, Europe, Scandinavia, and in Japan, replicating with scary accuracy the look and sound of a KISS show, right down to between-song chatter (in accent). 

A two-hour set of hits and classics, bloodspitting, firebreathing and special fx. 

Jim Ghedi

In his new album Wasteland, Jim Ghedi has created something huge. Intense, brooding, bold, at times apocalyptic, and remarkably vast. A profoundly bold sonic statement that is some of the most rich, far-reaching and ambitious work that Ghedi has created to date - pushing the boundaries of what what folk music can be in 2025.

Vessels

British indie electronic band Vessels formed in 2005 after they reshuffled the lineup of their previous outfit, with Lee J. Malcolm (guitars, laptop, and vocals), Tom Evans (guitar, vocals), Martin Teff (bass, synth), and drummer Tim Mitchell completing the group. While a part of the Leeds-based band's sound occupies similar post-rock territory to Mogwai and Godspeed You! Black Emperor, they take influence from electronica elements in much the same way as contemporaries 65daysofstatic, and draw on the likes of Battles, Four Tet, and electronic instruments within their complex sound.

Earth

An American band formed in 1989 in Olympia, Washington. After releasing the ‘genre defining’ album Earth 2 on sub pop in 1993, the band had some time off in 1997 till 2002 or 2003 when they returned to musical activity. In 2005, they released ‘hex, or printing in the infernal method’ an imaginary western soundtrack (also described as ‘genre defining’), followed by many other records, among which ‘the bees made honey in the lion’s skull’ has been the most well received critically and commercially.
