SUMMARY:Wandering Oak presents Dana Gavanski plus Bingo Fury and Ladakee
DESCRIPTION:Born in Vancouver to a Serbian family\, but relocating to Montreal to attend university\, Dana Gavanski originally planned to pursue a career in film. However\, she shifted her attention back to music when her then ex-partner left her his guitar before moving to NYC. Having known only how to play ‘Diamonds and Rust’ by Joan Baez\, Dana picked up a Travis Picking technique book and started re-learning how to play. When in the Summer of 2016\, she took a job with her father as a producer’s assistant on a horror film in the Laurentians\, she made enough to focus solely on developing her music for a year. With that came her first EP\, Spring Demos. \nIn 2019\, Dana signed with Full Time Hobby and released two 7″ singles (“One By One”\, “Catch”) and announced her debut album “Yesterday Is Gone”\, a co-production between Sam Gleason\, Tunng’s Mike Lindsay and Dana herself. The critically acclaimed album was released in March 2020\, followed by an EP of covers titled “Wind Songs”\, released in August of the same year. Dana’s second album “When It Comes” was released in April 2022\, followed by headline tours around UK\, Europe and north America\, and is followed by third album LATE SLAP\, due for release in April 2024. \nArtist Site: https://www.danagavanski.co.uk/\nBingo Fury conjures a glitzy – altogether seedy – Broadway sheen. Although very much a solo songwriter\, Bingo’s compositional process relies on contributions from his entire band – bassist Megan Jenkins\, and drummer Henry Terrett have been playing together since their teens. In one of their various incarnations\, they recruited local avant-jazz legend\, cornet player Harry ‘Iceman’ Furniss\, with guitarist and percussionist Rafi Cohen later completing the line-up.\nInfluenced by classic songwriters as much as pioneers of alternative experimentation\, the songs can often land like a jazz standard that got lost multiple times on its journey to the present day. Some pit stops are obvious: the haunting balladry of Nina Simone and Leonard Cohen\, and the arresting no-wave of James Chance and The Lounge Lizards.\n\nArtist Site: https://bingofury.bandcamp.com/album/bats-feet-for-a-widow \n\nLadakee is the solo project of Sarah Suri of Nano Kino. Inspired by the likes of Melodys Echo Chamber\, Panda Bear and Antelope\, she blends psychedelic shoe gaze with rhythmic guitar hooks and dreamy harmonies. Joined by Andrew Jones of Pit Pony and Cheap lunch\, Ladakee performs atmospheric and immersive live shows for the senses. \nArtist Site: https://ladakee.bandcamp.com/\nTickets: \n£12.50 advance \nAges 18+ only \nDoors open 7:00pm \nFor ages 18+ only \nTicket Links: \nSee Tickets (MAIN OUTLET\, USE THIS) – Wandering Oak account – https://www.seetickets.com/event/dana-gavanski/the-common-room-of-the-great-north/2929865\nDICE – Wandering Oak account – https://dice.fm/event/qqyw9-dana-gavanski-1st-jun-the-common-room-of-the-great-north-newcastle-tickets\nVideo \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmT5SrNNEZM

SUMMARY:The Old Oak (2023): Screening and Q&A with cast members at The Common Room
DESCRIPTION:The Old Oak (2023): Screening and Q&A with cast members Claire Rodgerson and Dave Turner at The Common Room \nDirected by Ken Loach \n15+ | English | 113 mins \nThe Old Oak is a special place. Not only is it the last pub standing\, but it’s also the only remaining public space where people can meet in a once thriving mining community in the North East\, that has now fallen on hard times after 30 years of decline. \nTJ Ballantyne (Dave Turner) the landlord\, hangs on to The Old Oak by his fingertips. His predicament is endangered even more when the pub becomes contested territory after the arrival of Syrian refugees who are placed in the village without any notice. \nCan they find a way for the two communities to understand each other? So unfolds a deeply moving drama about their fragilities and hopes. \nThe Common Room are incredibly proud to present The Old Oak\, and to have Claire and Dave join us for a discussion after the screening. Join us in a celebration of our region’s resilience and Ken Loach’s invaluable dedication to documenting working-class communities in the North East and beyond. \nEvent Details: \nDate: 10th June 2024 \nTime: Doors open at 6:00 pm\, film starts at 6:30 pm \nVenue: Lecture Theatre\, The Common Room \nQ&A Session: \nFollowing the screening\, the audience will have the opportunity to ask Claire and Dave questions\, as they share insight into the making of the film. \nTickets: \nGeneral Admission: £8 (Includes screening and Q&A) \nAccessibility \nPlease note the screening is in our Lecture Theatre\, which includes fixed tiered seating. Level access seating spans across our back row\, with one space available for a wheelchair. Seating is allocated on a first come first serve basis\, however\, if you have any access needs\, please email: events@thecommonroom.org.uk when you make your booking to reserve a level-access seat or contact us with any queries regarding your visit. \nArriving early\, or fancy sticking around? \nOur café bar\, 5|Quarter will be available to serve hot & cold drinks during and after the screening.
