Welcome April has arrived, but don’t expect showers from this unpredictable weather we’re having here in Blighty. We could get snow, sleet, hail, or even sunshine! Hamilton House is as busy as ever and buzzing with energy. As we say every month there are way too many exciting things going on within these walls for you to be staying at home! We have full listings of what’s on this month including, weekly workshops & classes (check the back pages). There’s also tons of inspired live music in The Canteen, check the full listings in the centre pages for details. Make sure you come down and take a peek at the Artist Of The Month display on the right hand wall as you enter through The Canteen’s double doors. If you love the artwork and simply have to have it hanging on your wall at home get out your wallet and buy yourself a one off, locally created masterpiece. If you need some cooking inspiration, check the bottom right and try our super delicious Quick Menu Tip. The yummy recipie is cu-out-able! I’ll leave you with this inspiring quote, apt because we’ve just finished redecorating Hamilton Hub, our hotdesking/co-working suite... Quote of the month...

How far can you go with just three voices, fiddle, double bass and guitar? If this London-based Scots jazz-folk trio are to be believed, from the Celtic Fringe to the Bedlams of the Balkans and back again. So popping into Bristol wouldn’t be a problem, then.
Zadio Underneath the super-smooth big production of Zadio Luban’s music there’s the honest voice of a singer songwriter
