We've been extremely slack with blogging here at SHOP towers this month. We're willing to blame the ancient SHOP camera which has decided to only take a picture every 4th attempt, but we're certainly not blaming the quality and general aceness of those events we have failed to blog! No sirree! So here's a little round of February and we'll be reporting for blog-duty during March, no fear!
SOFT CABARET
The Bard of Windmill Hill and Fakir Darren arrived at SHOP on Thursday the 18th February ready for their performance with nothing but a mysterious suitcase, giving away no clue as to what the evening had in store.
However, with the benefit of a linear time system, we can tell you. The Bard of Windmill Hill performed poems on the theme of love, which were touching and highly amusing in equal measure. Particular favourites here at SHOP were the comparison of companionship with tennis balls and a love ode to mother nature complete with slurping noises.
The multi-talented Fakir Darren performed a mixture of story telling, stand up, magic and feats of daring all in our little 'ol arts space! Such feats included lying on a bed of nails whilst having a bowling ball dropped on his wedding tackle! Oooh, that makes for a memorable Valentine's Day performance, we can tell thee! And unbelievable tricks like passing himself through himself, we kid you not.
We certainly hope to welcome both the Bard and the Fakir back to SHOP in the very near future and shall pass this knowledge onto you, reader.
'NEVER MORE THAN A METRE AWAY'
Tim Ulewicz kicked off his solo show in good stylee with a barrel of cider and porky pig sweeties for everyone! The real highlight though was Tim's work of course, which really impressed everyone who attended. It marked the start of a really busy week for Tim and he had so many people stopping by to look at his work, talk to him and buy a piece of their own that he fair ran out of porky pigs and had to switch to eclairs and mini eggs.
A much better review (with pictures!) can be found on Tim's own website here
RECORD CLUB
Bristol's first Record Club took place at SHOP on Thursday 24th. After three weeks of preparation; nominating records, then collecting votes, we were all left breathless with anticipation at which records would come out on top. We needn't have wasted our breath however and could have had 20 B&H instead, as it was a five way tie and we had to have a re-vote on the night! It was a really popular event and we have already scheduled Record Club No. 2 for the 22nd March!

THE END
So, that's the end of February, March's newsletter will be hitting the blog on Monday!
Bye y'all!
