Annual General Meeting for
Hotwells and Cliftonwood Community Association
COME TO OUR AGM - AN EVENING OF COMMUNITY, LIVE MUSIC & CELEBRATION
At the AGM you can find out more about Jacob's Wells Baths and the progress on restoring the building as a community hub. Our community launch of Connected Actions: Sustainable Neighbourhoods - our community climate action plan and find out more about how to make a difference to your community.
After the AGM, we hope you can join us for a drink and a very special performance by Rebecca Nash and saxophonist Alex Merritt. A dynamic and intimate duet, weaving influences from the ethereal harmonies of John Taylor, the vivid colours of Messiaen, and the shimmering textures of Debussy. Through lyrical improvisations and carefully crafted compositions, the duo explore the interplay of light and shadow, tension and release, their love of the spontaneous, alongside an appreciation for silence and space. Join them for a performance of music that is as reflective as it is daring — a celebration of musical expression at its most poetic.
7pm 9 July (doors open 6.45pm)
