Date: Fri, 21st Feb 2025 19:00 - 21:30

Venue: Quorn Village Hall

Join us for The Campfire Sessions, where Craig's heartfelt performances and storytelling shine. He shares the stories behind his songs, inspired by his journey to recovery, creating a deeply personal and memorable connection with the audience.

With sold-out shows on two national tours, festival appearances at The Long Road and Ynot Festivals, and widespread support from BBC Radio across the UK, Craig Gould's talent for connecting with audiences through story and song is being rightfully recognized.

His album, 'Songs from the Campfire,' received critical acclaim, reaching the Top 20 in the UK's Official Folk Album Charts and featuring on the award-winning 'Folk on Foot' podcast chart show. These songs chronicle his battles with severe mental illness and his path to recovery.

Expect an atmosphere of togetherness authenticity as Craig gathers us together to celebrate progress and recovery, and to focus on the positive rather than past struggles.

'Alien Invasion': An online video game by Ama Dogbe

'Alien Invasion': An online video game by Ama Dogbe

Fri, 3rd Nov 2023 - Sat, 27th Jan 2024

About Ama Dogbe
Ama Dogbe is a British-Ghanaian artist who builds video games, digital animations and audio-visual installations exploring autobiographical and utopian themes. Her recent work uses interactive virtual world-building as a tool to examine family, identity and the internet. She has created digital forests, sky mazes, and gleaming platforms that audiences can explore online. Her processes often use self-taught and collaborative techniques to produce experimental and unconventional outcomes. Ama has been commissioned by Spike Island, Bristol (2023) and tiata fahodzi, Watford (2022). She has also exhibited with Fermynwoods Contemporary Art (2022), East Bristol Contemporary (2022) and Attenborough Arts Centre, Leicester (2021).


About 'Alien Invasion'
Ama Dogbe presents a new version of Alien Invasion, an interactive web-based game. In Alien Invasion, figures descend upon a garden-like world, and players follow paths to uncover talismans, relics and icons. The game has been created in part through photogrammetry, the process of creating 3D digital outcomes from photographs. Using physical and digital repetition, Ama has created a web of symbols that are both strange and familiar. The game is accompanied by a soundtrack of electronic, ambient and contemporary hip-hop by musician Louis Jack. The video game will be available to play via the Modern Painters, New Decorators website. The project is funded by Arts Council England.
