Bristol Community Tango Orchestra

About this event:

This event is all about a TANGO performance at Bristol 1904 Arts where you will experience tango musically and through dance, at its very best - a feast of latin culture and rich traditions to be enjoyed.

Bristol Community Tango Orchestra are one part of the non-profit Creative Caminito where they are building inclusive new tango music education & performance communities through innovative projects throughout the UK, developing musicianship, creativity, community, and intercultural understanding. They aim to enrich cultural opportunities in the UK, and develop multiple collaborations between different cultures.

The Community Tango Orchestra are currently running 4 orchestras in London, Bristol, the New Forest and Leeds with more in the pipeline ...

But besides the development of tango skills they look to perform their music and dance spectacular at concerts, which is what brings them to Bristol 1904 Arts. We will be laying down a dance floor area in our performance hall especially for the purpose. It's going to be a stunning experience musically, vocally and dance-wise.

So we do urge you to attend this spectacular!

Tatiana Eva-Marie - Gypsy Jazz

About this event:

Courtesy of our Entertainer Member, Jack Calloway (a jazz phenomenon in his own right) and our BRISTOL 1904 ARTS President Harry Stealey we have the marvellous French-American Jazz Sensation, Tatiana Eva-Marie coming to perform for us again at our Performance Hall in the Red Lodge in the centre of Bristol on Park Row.

Some of you might recall that she was with us this time last year in 2025 and is now back, by popular demand! Weyyyyy ...

Mark your calendar for Thursday 21st May, 2026 for 7pm

In the past few years, Tatiana Eva-Marie has been expanding her touring internationally and has built a huge and devoted online following among jazz fans and music lovers worldwide. In 2024, Tatiana Eva-Marie premiered her first opera as a librettist in Switzerland and released her new album “Djangology” on GroundUp Music in June.

In 2025, following the release of her Disney tribute album A Whole New World, Tatiana Eva-Marie continued to expand her Django Songbook in collaboration with The Echoes of Django, a band hailing from the shores of her native Lake Léman and her long-time friend and partner in crime, violinist Daniel Garlitsky - who has also performed here at '1904' both with Tatiana and with Jack and his Jazz band.

Tatiana will be spectacular ... so we encourage you to buy your ticket(s) now to avoid disappointment.

Thursday 28th May, 2026   - LET's TALK

Our speaker at the May LET'S TALK is Leslie Shutt, who has been a Green Feather (General) Member since 2014. Les is a retired consultant anaesthatist and previously presented a LET'S TALK on the subject of pain and pain management a few years ago. He was presented with the Humphry Davy Award in 2003 for "Important recent discovery in chemistry". As a medical man, Les has been interested in the history of medicine and here he highlights the significance of the Budd Family and their historical contribution to medical practice in the South West of England.

This promises to be another amazing presentation on a little-known subject and a worthy contribution to our on-going LET'S TALK series.

No bookings are required for this talk - just turn up and pay at the bar area on arrival. Guests and non-members are welcome!

A must-see!!  👍

Bristol 1904 Arts presents Grace Sheene

by Jack Calloway

About this event:

BRISTOL 1904 ARTS is thrilled to welcome a worthy constituent and the rising star of jazz vocals in the UK, the wonderful Grace Sheene. We make a very simple prediction: we are going to be hearing a lot more of this vocalist Grace Sheene.

Kentucky-born, trained in London as an actor, her way with songbook standards is something very special indeed. She makes every syllable of every word count. Her pause-craft and her pianissimo-craft are spectacular too.

Moved by recordings of Judy Garland, Mabel Mercer, Bobby Short, Lee Wiley, Etta Jones, Julie London and countless other singers from the golden eras of cabaret, swing, and cool jazz, Grace interprets songs from the canon with an expansive yet personal approach. A deep dive into the American Songbook has inspired her hope to give forgotten gems the attention they deserve — alongside beloved standards.

Grace has quickly become an established performer on London’s jazz scene, appearing regularly at venues such as Crazy Coqs, The Ned, Boisdale, and Brown’s Hotel. But for one night only, she will join our Jack Calloway at BRISTOL 1904 ARTS to give us a night not to forget.

How does he manage to get such talent to our door?

This music event will take place in our iconic Performance Hall within the Red Lodge, Park Row BS1 5LJ.
