Chandos Society of Artists
Bridgwater Art Challenge


Artists work around the town between 10 am and 3 30 pm making work in preparation for an exhibition in July. Check in at the Arts Centre at 10 am. There is a small admin fee and then off you go. The day is yours to paint, draw, photograph, whatever you like to produce a portrait of a day in the life of Bridgwater. Artists return to the Arts Centre for tea and biscuits and vote for best work on the day. There is then the opportunity to complete the work to presentation standard before the exhibition. Come along and make your mark.

The Last Lunch

We’ve all heard the age-old adage, “You are what you eat”, but Something Underground Theatre’s new play, “The Last Lunch” sets out to explore that notion right to its nth degree. What happens to your psyche, to that of your family, and of your nation, after gobbling down pound after pound of cheap meat from animals kept in questionable conditions, is part of what the new play, from Award-nominated performer & writer Jonathan Brown, explores. Jonathan, who attracted 5 and 4 star reviews with "Large Print Trash" “Licence” and “The Well” says, ‘It’s about traditional British butcher Albert, who’s enraged at having so many opinionated spiritual midwife vegans, hippies and pregnant grand-daughters show up for Sunday lunch; who’s also trying hard to keep his trusty Nokia out of the tofu casserole; and who’s also trying not to buy yet another consignment of "damaged stock" from his beef-farming “friend” Peter. ‘As the guests arrive, the house fills with archetypes that play havoc with the whole family. It’s funny, moving, poignant, disturbing.’

Tattie Jam

Tattie Jam offer a distinctive brew of songs, from dark ballads and protest songs to off-the wall humour, and tunes ranging from slow airs to driving Strathspeys and kinetic jigs and reels. Much of our material's given a playful or funky contemporary twist, with contrast provided by the odd starker a capella song or unaccompanied tune. Our material's a diverse but harmonious blend of reinterpreted songs and tunes plundered from the hugely rich Scottish tradition, and songs and tunes written by Ruaridh. Thoughtful arrangements and the fact both musicians harmonise vocals whilst playing elements of lead, rhythm and percussion give Tattie Jam a sound that's quite unmistakable, and consistently surprises new listeners with its size and scope.
