- The Festival is an annual event started in 2008 to support and encourage live, local and original music in Worcester and is staged in pubs, clubs, cafes, and historic buildings around or near the city centre.
Festival events take place at over 30 venues, with a line-up in the region of 200 bands and musicians. Entry to the majority of venues is free of charge, but there are a few exceptions.
The Festival is a non-profit making event run by an enthusiastic team of 25+ volunteers, largely local musicians or people associated with the Worcester music scene. Not only does it provide a showcase for local musical talent of all genres, but it provides education and professional development opportunities through a variety of workshops and clinics.

Nick talked at length about Dudley JBs. JBs is going into administration. Nick has approached JBs to find out what can be done to help. JBs are struggling and needs peoples help and support.
Nick is putting on three good nights between now and Christmas starting on Oct 22nd, all the money goes to the club. Nick suggested that if JBs goes down, it will affect the midlands as there are so few clubs left that can support good touring bands. Nick wants to try and get 1000 people through the door.
Nick wants peoples help to try and market and promote the club by any means to try and help them out.
Jbs needs help with marketing and promotion, it needs people to support the shows, it needs promoters to take on nights and organise shows, it needs people with ideas to come forward and suggest new ways it can move forward and avoid going bust without compromising the sorts of bands it has been working with up to now. A lengthy discussion followed…..

- A memoir, a history lesson, a combat picture, a piece of investigative journalism and an altogether amazing film" A.O. Scott, New York Times
"One of the most profoundly explosive animated documentaries I have ever seen, and is clearly one of the best pictures of the year." Andrew Sarris, New York Observer
"Its fluid boundary between the real and surreal lifts it into the realm of myth." David Edelstein, New York Magazine
"Extraordinary and painfully timely" Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
To all those eager to overlook the recent ban on Waltz with Bashir in Lebanon, here is our solution in pure defiance of this law. Torrent it. Watch it streamed online. To watch it stream in fairly good quality and subtitled, one of our innercircle helped in ripping the movie. We also uploaded it on our blipTv where you would also have the option of watching Waltz with Bashir, in full screen [updated – full version].

Table Bed Chair – A documentary by Robert Hack and Jakob Proyer
Director and editor: Robert Hack
Script and research: Jakob Proyer
Camera: Jakob M. Kubizek and Peter Sihorsch
Sound Mastering: Stefan Deisenberger
Language: English with Dutch and English Subtitles
Duration: 30 min 41sec
4:3 PALA no budget production published under creative commons attribution-noncommercial-sharealike 2.0 Austria 2007
Table Bed Chair is a documentary about the squatter scene of Amsterdam. The film combines insights into the history of the squatter movement and its particularly well developed autonomous structures and practices with a focus on the extraordinary legal situation in the Netherlands…but this is all changing in just a few months…..Squatting has now been outlawed in the Netherlands. The Upper House of parliament in June 2010 approved a law which makes it illegal to occupy empty homes, shops or other premises without permission of the owner.
