The Courtyard Theatre and The Forest Cafe Presents...

T H E B A N G B A N G C A R A V E L

Part of the Courtyard Theatre's Pre-Edinburgh Festival programme, we are very proud to present The Bang Bang Caravel

a decadence of live music, short film, theatre installation, performance, 3 dimensional projections, DJs, canapés and dancing.

all to raise money for the save the Forest Café campaign.

The Forest Cafe is a volunteer-run, collectively-owned, free arts and events space in Edinburgh's old town.

For the past decade, it has played host to thousands of events, workshops, happenings, exhibitions,

theatre performances and more, all free of charge and open for anyone to attend. Since its birth in 2000

in a tiny month-by-month let in Westport, it has expanded to become a multi award-winning Fringe venue,

inspiration to like-minded projects and people all over the world, from Switzerland to Korea.

However, due to the bankruptcy of the landlords, the building that the Forest currently occupies is up for sale.

In order to keep the project alive, a campaign has been launched to raise enough money to carry on operating

in central Edinburgh for the next decade and beyond.

So far over £20,000 has been donated. The goal is to reach £50 000 through a programme of fundraising events

in Edinburgh and across the country.

All proceeds from The Bang Bang Caravel go directly to the Save the Forest Fund, so please be generous!

Influenced by the manic melodies of Felix Kubin, Com.a & Mouse on Mars and sample splicers like The Soft Pink Truth

vand Donna Summer, ROMVELOPE aka Bjorn Hatleskog takes you on a Norwego-Scottish tour through electro,

R’n’B and hip-hop, with diversions into a bewildering array of other styles.

“Brace yourself! Like a breakcore one-man band lost on the Tokyo subway after a particularly heavy night, Romvelope

is a dirty great big collision of your entire record collection filtered through a slew of guest vocalists and 8-Bit jiggery pokery.

‘jack shirt mines a steady seam of psychedelic folk music stripped away of the hokum and cliché that that accompanies such things,

using the powers of drone, minimalist melodies a la Philip Glass and acoustic instruments Jack Shirt’s newest release is a

20 minute exploration of the tonality of the ukulele. Improvisational techniques and swirling dynamics are used to build an

atmosphere both haunting and lasting. Great stuff’
