Fans and critics across the globe have followed her journey through the circles of Jazz, Broken-Beat, Bossa-Nova, Reggae, Afro-Beat and Soul and she was recently honored at the Black Women in Jazz Awards with the Afro Caribbean Soul of Jazz Award.

SAY LESS:
Say Less emerged from Birmingham onto the music scene in 2021, bringing with them a truly distinct sound that has captured the hearts of post-punk fans and beyond. Inspired by the punk-rock movement, and a love and appreciation for an eclectic mix of genres, they have elevated their music with electronic and experimental approaches, whilst staying true to the musical roots which first galvanised the band into coming together. The result of this is a supernova sound whose shock-waves you cannot help but to ride.

Both Warstone Lane Cemetery & Key Hill Cemetery were Birmingham’s first cemeteries and were once privately owned. They fell into decline when the cemeteries became full and did not generate an income. Since the 1980’s some of our volunteers have been caring for the cemeteries – finding hidden footpaths and steps, uncovering sunken graves as well as researching the lives of those who rest in these two historic cemeteries. The good and the great of Birmingham rest here as well as the ordinary man, woman & child, they too have their story to tell.
Friends of Key Hill Cemetery & Warstone Lane Cemetery are all volunteers including Admin, officially formed in 2004 and care for the cemeteries as well as raising funds for damaged and broken graves. This is achieved by membership, guided tours, donations and sales at open days and history fairs.
See other events on the same day with the Friends of Key Hill Cemetery & Warstone Lane Cemetery. Pre-booking is essential for the rare opportunity to view the interior Warstone Lane catacombs, then walking to neighbouring Key Hill Catacombs at 12 noon to view the interior of Key Hill Cemetery catacombs . This event will be repeated at 2pm. Tickets are limited book via Eventbrite . Please ensure you wear suitable footwear.

Birmingham’s Clean Air Zone started charging on Tuesday 1st June 2021 but estimates predict that 75% of cars will be exempt from charges. The zone, covering the centre of the city , aims to reduce pollution levels and encourage more people to switch to public transport to visit the city centre. It is different to the London congestion charge which charges all vehicles so it’s important that you know whether it applies to you or not.

A hands on workshop, learning how to make cyanotype blueprints – an early photographic technique using foraged and natural materials.
Event Details
Part of the JQ Festival.
Outdoor workshop in the chapel footprint garden in Warstone Lane Cemetery with artist Jo Gane. This workshop offers a hands-on opportunity to make cyanotype blueprints. The cyanotype process is one of the earliest photographic processes, invented by Sir John Herschel in 1842 and involves using paper coated with light sensitive iron salts to produce prints with a distinctive Prussian blue colour.
Prints can be made with natural materials foraged from around the cemetery such as leaves and feathers – or feel free to bring objects to work with. If you are bringing materials to print from, small objects (no bigger than an A4 sheet) which can lie flat and are partially opaque work the best – lace and fabrics can be very effective. Jo will be bringing pre-coated cyanotype paper for ease of use out on location, however instructions and support about how to coat paper and work with this process at home will also be provided.
This workshop is suitable for adults and children aged 8+, younger children are welcome but will need assistance from their parent or guardian.

Event Details
Part of the JQ Festival.
Join Sustainable Life for a beginners foraging walk through Warstone Lane Cemetery learning about edible and useful plants with an expert guide. The walk will last around 1 and a half hours and will be pushchair friendly!
On the walk we will be looking at trees, medicinal plants and herbal remedies, edible (or drinkable) plants and recipes, and useful fun plants! Quirky history or facts, ID features and harmful doppelgangers to watch out for.
Join us for a casual stroll enjoying the natural green spaces of Birmingham and learning a little more about plants including fungi, fruit, nuts, leaves, roots and more as you go along!
What we look at will vary according to the season and where the walk takes us! We will meet in the Garden of Memory and then go exploring the cemetery together.
Booking is not essential as tickets will be available on the day if there are spaces, but these walks are popular so we recommend booking to avoid disappointment.
