Outsider Performers ENCORE - Sunday 18th August 2013


Dear Friends,

You might like to know that the encrusted red gates of St Clements Hospital are now open and the grounds are free to explore for the next 10 days - 4 pm to 11 pm - during the Shuffle Festival www.shufflefestival.com

The official opening took place last night with a warm and kind introduction by Danny Boyle, which is curating the film festival and lives locally, and Kate MacTiernan, director of the current St Clements Social Club.

Among films and arts the festival is hosting the "Day of the Mind" on Sunday the 11th of August, 11am to 11pm, can't get wrong with the numbers there!
This will be a free day dedicated to the wonders of the mind, with the support of the Wellcome Trust. Please check the free events, talks and workshops on www.shufflefestival.com/day-of-the-mind.html

In the meantime the planning of the Outsider Performers, to take place on Sunday 18th August, 3-7 PM, on the closing day of Shuffle festival, is progressing well. Posters are circulating and so is good word of mouth.

Please note that we have been offered the outer space by the Clock tower for this event, don't forget your brolly/raincoat if afraid of possible wet weather, nothing will stop us.
We are putting together a list of performers, but emailing us or turning up early on the day, might secure your act a slot. Maybe we might even be able to find a new corner for more voices to be heard... Help, suggestions and requests for the event are all welcome:  get involved in order for them to happen and have more fun!
