Folk traditions given a global twist, an epic reimagining of Macbeth and high-energy ceilidhs. Put the back-to-work-blues on ice and get stuck in this weekend!

Something for the Weekend is our weekly round of what’s on in Bath, Bristol and beyond 📍

This week’s picks…

⭐️ Amplify Music Festival: Muco | British-Burundian singer-songwriter Muco opens Clevedon’s new music festival with a spellbinding blend of medieval folk, ancient poetry and contemporary songwriting that draws on traditions from Britain and East Africa. 📍Curzon Cinema & Arts, Clevedon, 3 September

⭐️ YoungSixSix presents Macbeth | Shakespeare’s bloody tragedy gets an epic reimagining from the Bristol Old Vic’s young ensemble, exploring ambition, masculinity, power and what happens when the next generation inherits a violent world. 📍Bristol Old Vic, 3-5 September

⭐️ Fire in the Mill | The magic of Fire in the Mountain comes to a historic Victorian sawmill for a family-friendly day of ceilidh dancing, workshops, firepits, food and b**r, with music from sibling duo Johnny & Lillie Flynn among others. 📍Sawmills, Bristol, 6 September

Magic is all around us. And when it isn’t, you can always create it yourself 🪄

That’s what multidisciplinary artist, folklorist and 2024 Bath Spa graduate Libby Bove has done with the Museum of Roadside Magic – an imagined world where the connection between labour and ritual thrives amid trunk roads and MOT garages 🪶

From that project came Rituals of the Roadways, a film commissioned as part of the 2024 BFI’s Reimagining the Film Archives, and now a book that expands Bove’s roadside lore. Rituals of the Roadways features a foreword by Benjamin Myers and a preface by Mackenzie Crook – a serious seal of approval for this strange and wonderful creation. 🎞️

Intrigued? Look out for details of the Museum of Roadside Magic’s annual Gleaners Feast in Bristol in late September.
