MELT BANANA + Burning Ships
Pleased to announce that MELT-BANANA the two-piece Tokyo based band are coming to Bedford Esquires on Thursday 19th September.

To date, the band has released seven studio albums, two live albums, and two singles collections. They have been performing together for more than 25 years, and their range of work is pretty wide. They seem to be in so called underground scene in japan such as noise music scene or hard-core scene, and at the same time, they also played shows as support act for the Wire, Mr. Bungle, Fantomas, Tool, MGMT, Napalm Death etc. , or, they took part in a festival curated by the late Lou Reed at Opera House in Sydney, or they have friendship with various artists like Mike Patton, Shellac, Wire, Mogwai, Karl Hyde of Underworld etc ... it is almost kind of unidentified and quite bizarre for me.

2️⃣ We will then divide into small groups, each visiting three Moggerhanger hosts who will welcome you into their homes to taste two wines from a country or wine region of their choosing:  There will be nibbles and maybe games, music or a quiz to add to the fun.

3️⃣ After tasting your way around Moggerhanger, (and possibly the World!) we’ll gather again at the Village Hall for a Tombola, grazing boards ( if you so choose!) and to continue to enjoy each other’s company.

🥂 THE BAR
The bar will be open and all 12 wines tasted during the evening will be available to buy by the glass or bottle.

You can catch up with old friends, make new friends, discover new wines, maybe learn a little? and go home happy.

👵There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly. I don’t know why she swallowed a fly... But The People’s Theatre Company do!

And now you can too as they bring the world’s best loved nonsense rhyme to life just in time to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Pam Adams’s best-selling book!

🌳 A friendly gathering/walk organised to create a welcoming and supportive space for women, to walk (or sit) and talk (or not) on Saturdays in Bedford. All welcome.

🫶 WOMEN COMING TOGETHER
We all need a community around us, people we can share moments and experiences with, among whom we find support and understanding. Starting mid-September this will be a regular weekly meet-up (outdoors or indoors - if the right place is found), fostering a safe environment and deeper connections that develop over time.

WHAT IS THIS GROUP INTENDED FOR?
Women for Women is intended as a space where everyone can find their people, their tribe and have that sense of belonging that is more difficult to achieve in the modern world, outside of your closest family circle (if that is the case). We are all different, bringing our uniqueness to the people around us and the community. Let's celebrate and cherish that, learn from each other and be for one another in this space.

🗺 I WOULD LOVE TO BE APART OF THIS - WHERE DO WE MEET?
We meet at Bedford Band Stand in the park - click the address location link above and it will show you. 

Sunday 22 September (13)


Time: 11:00 - 16:00
