Dear Friends,

April-May brings a tonne of diverse, and neatly synergetic events.

This month we're excited to host the book launch of The Wire's Epiphanies: Life Changing Encounters With Music edited by Tony Herrington. A free event with Wire Sound System DJs, pop up author readings, plus a live set by the dynamic duo Sculpture.

April features a loaded bill - with an all-dayer from ZamZam and Tesla Tapes, more new nights presented by Magic Galaxy and The Clinker, and a special one off event from Jupiter-C.

Apiary Sessions returns in May, this time headed up by DIZ_CO presenting unique audiovisual performances and installations to soften the night before's election selection.

Later in May Derek Holzer (USA/DE) presents Soundboxes - a very special two day workshop from this incredible instrument builder combining found collage, electronics and noise making.

Lots more surprises and intriguing events listed below!!

Cheers,
The Apiary Team
