• The Wino Halibut Quartet
The Wino Halibut Quartet involves the fusion of bizarre electronic noise and dark, disturbing reflections about making sense of growing up disabled towards the end of the 20th Century.
‘It Ruined the Holiday for Everyone Else’ is a half-hour soundscape backing a personal and confrontational critique of societal attitudes towards disability, especially the tendency to view it solely as a negative or abnormal state. It challenges conventional assumptions and expresses joy for the unique perspective and insight gained through resistance to the imposition of the non-disabled’s banal expectations. It involves some sweary words.
The Wino Halibut Quartet comes from Whitley Bay and Blyth.
• DJs Not Pjs at the Hub Studio
Hubba hubba! For one night, Arcadea Disability Arts’ Hub Studio flips into a buzzing dancefloor. Live on Nova Radio, studio members take over the decks, dropping their own selections and setting the pace, while the space is transformed with an environment that glows, pulses, and wraps the room in colour. There’s a bar, there’s movement, there’s bass you can feel — and an atmosphere built by the artists themselves.
Come to dance, connect and be part of a night where access, creativity and club culture meet. Everyone’s welcome!
