Caution Elephant & Shohei Kobayashi

Unfortunately Caution Elephant had to cancel due to illness. We will still have Shohei playing tonight and Mac from The Kings of Spain will be playing. The door fee will be dropped to £2 to pay for musicians expenses. Sorry!

The fabulous Caution Elephant return to Ort after the last gig being a huge success despite snowy conditions. They have new material, have been recording an EP and we guarantee snow free conditions!

They will be supported by the American Shohei Kobayashi, a singer-songwriter playing beautifully crafted songs.

This Saturday 12th May at Ort, from 8.30pm, and only £3 on the door

Measure Solo Exhibition by Pedro Pires & The Soloists Night

Measure
A Solo Exhibition by Pedro Pires
Showing Photography and Mechanisms

Please join us for the Private View of Pedro Pires’ Solo Exhibition from 6pm. Pedro is a London-based Portuguese artist whose work is engaged in the inquiry with the human body and the act of measuring. Pedro measures his own body through a sculptural or photographic language and makes the viewer question how we encounter other bodies in the world. For his show at Ort Pedro has created several mechanisms that will deepen this enquiry. Find out more about his practice here: www.pedropires.pt

The Soloists Night

The Private View will be followed by live music. Called “The Soloists Night” the event will showcase local talent in the form of an organised open-mic night. Headlining will be Darby-based musician Banjo Dave: www.youtube.com/user/DaveyRhodes

Both events are free.
