THE ART OF TRAVEL
Friday 29 July
6.30pm-8.30pm  at Travelling Through..., 131 Lower Marsh;
free
Join Austin Caffrey for an evening of philosophical
wandering and wondering about travel with fellow travellers,
exploring the question 'What Does Travel Mean to You?'. In
today's world, when nomadism has become a normality, and
roaming routine, how do we relate to the concept of travel?
No longer do we seem to undertake Homeric Odysseys or
journeys of mythic significance. Yet for many there has to
be more to travelling than simply tourism. Are we perhaps a
naturally curious species which travels to explore, to
discover not just another world, another culture, but
another part of ourselves too? Why not come along for an
evening of philosophical wandering and wondering about
travel?

of the world's best musicians, hundreds of singers will be

songs. The show's material is taken from De-Lisser's SING
OUT! book series of choral arrangements, which range from
traditional gospel to modern day chart toppers and
everything in between. From moving ballads that will bring a
tear to your eye, to classic anthems you just have to dance
to, there's something for everyone to enjoy. There's even a
chance for the audience to sing along too.
