If you’re looking for something a bit different as a stocking filler this Christmas, why not try the new album ‘fragments’ by Clive-Upon-Sea, the artistic alter ego of Rev Simon Oliver, Cottenham’s Methodist minister.
The album is one of the products of the Arts Night which has been meeting in the Cottenham Community Centre Coffee Shop over the last few years (and was actually co-founded by the current editor of this esteemed publication!). The group meets twice a month on Sunday nights to explore life, art, philosophy and faith through the creative arts. We are mostly a bunch of singers, musicians and songwriters, but we’ve also had poets, photographers, artists and story writers amongst our number has hosted an Arts Night. Do get in touch if you’d like to come along. It’s a really great, low key event.
The sorts of issues we have explored over the past few years have ranged from Sex, God, Death and the Devil to Summer, Childhood, Christmas and Hangovers! The album features 12 of the songs written for the Arts Night and is a mixture of melodic acoustic rock and melancholy ballads, with a bit of funk and avant garde noise thrown in for good measure!
Cost is £10, available directly from Simon Oliver (simon.oliver@cantab.net, FB: revcoffeecottenham, Twitter: @revcoffeeccc) and includes an optional document about the philosophy behind the Arts Night project and the album itself if you’re so inclined!
