SATURDAY June 8th 2013 EVERSHOT Village Hall
Tickets £10, £8 u18s, £30 family four.
Artsreach welcome back Etran Finatawa, who first emerged onto the international stage in 2007 into a music scene ignited by Tinariwen and hungry for 'desert blues'. Their first release earned them a BBC World Music Award for Best Newcomers. Etran combine the rich nomadic cultures of the Tuareg and Wodaabe peoples from Niger, and blend spellbinding Wodaabe polyphonic vocals, which are haunting and high, with familiar whirling Tuareg guitar parts and hypnotic percussive rhythms. Brilliantly evocative of the massive open skies of the Sahara and its nomadic culture.

FAIR: 12 - 5pm BAND: ‘Ship of fools’ 5 – 9.30pm Traditionally we have had a street fair in Evershot. However we felt it was time to try something new . Last year we decided that as we are in such a wonderful part of Dorset with an enormous variety of great food producers, we would have a food hall. We invited about 35 local food producers from an area of only ten miles from our village. This was so successful largely due to the standard of people who came to show what they do, We have now decided to widen the theme of great Dorset skilled people to include rural crafts. We have found over 20 people willing to come and Bang the Drum for Dorset we have so far Stone mason Stone mason/ stone carving Stone waller Willow sculpture Handcrafted oak garden furniture The farrier RSPB The felt lady Dorset bio diversity partnership Hurdle maker Traditional, rare and modern breeds of poultry and waterfowl, Woodland management hedge laying Windsor chair maker Long bows yurts and trugs Animal portraits Wood carving / timber framing Woodland heritage trust Potters Pole lathe Wood turner Wood mill and demo Beekeeper Dorset wildlife trust Magdelen farm project Environmental education centre These people are coming to demonstrate their skills or show the results of their skills. It really is about letting the world know how lucky we are having such a huge diversity of skilled people on our doorstep. There will obviously be some of the usual Village type stalls. Plus some static steam engines and the amazing food hall. The setting will be in the grounds of the old Estate office buildings, now home to one of our generous village residents. It will now also take in the village cricket ground. The Event will hopefully raise money for the Village and will be split between the Church, Village Hall, Play group, The Village fund and the School. We will also have a local band playing for us in the evening. 'Ship of Fools' is an exciting 9 piece contemporary folk band offering a varied and versatile set to suit all tastes. "Seriously, that gig last night is now in my top 5, and that top five includes Billy Bragg, the Birthday Party and Polly Harvey in Bridport last year. Which means you pushed The Jam in 1979 to number 6. It was a completely joyous night, and you are a completely joyous band." If you can find the time to come and join us or would like to know more contact me on: 01935 83520 or at jacknsteve@hotmail.co.uk Or you could ring me at the Bakery 01935 83379 or D.Kaile on 01935 83155 website: SHIP OF FOOLS Steve Crate STEVEN SOGO & HOPE STREET Friday, June 17, 2011 PRESS RELEASE: STEVEN SOGO & HOPE STREET Friday June 17th 2011 EVERSHOT Village Hall Doors open 8.00pm BAR website: www.accessallareas.infoSteven Sogo is the most promising singer to have emerged from the central African country of Burundi in years. He is a virtuoso guitarist and a master of numerous traditional instruments, having taken up the guitar age 14 in the middle of the civil war to express his wish to live a normal life. His music is pure, original blues: his songs are a cry for life, full of pain and hope at the same time; a mirror of life today in Burundi. Steven and his band fuse modern with traditional instruments in this wonderfully exuberant live show. His song 'Est Beau Mon Pays', a hymn to the beauty and vast human wealth of his ravaged country was a huge pan-African hit. His live shows are an unforgettable feast of emotion, colour, dance and glorious harmonies.
