e Welcom Welcome to the Feb edition of the Hamilton House programme. We’ve been doing some constructive thinking over the last couple of months and are pleased to say we’ve developed an updated version of our listings section. Inside is a more comprehensive ‘weekly classes’ listings page, and more indepth events, workshops and exhibitions pages. We’ve also integrated the Bristol Bike Project workshops so everything is in one quick reference section. (Check the back Contact pages!) Our top pics of the month are a one year Integrative Personal and Spiritual Development course offered by experienced practitioner Lynn Hunt (p8) and UK Bushido Self Defence run by Harriet (p9). We also take a look back over the last 10 months cover artwork (p2). As always for more information scan the q-codes, or visit the web addresses listed at the bottom of each page. amazing cover art by bethan buss www.boodleboutique.com

quick menu tip Thai Red Curry by Jenny Stir fry some onions in sunflower oil, add some tasty Theo’s Curry Paste and let it all caramelize gently. In the meantime peel and slice some fresh galangal and add it to the pan together with coconut milk, water, salt and a few kaffir lime leaves. While this is simmering parboil some roughly chopped veg: butternut squash, carrots, broccoli and cauliflower. Fry some soy sauce marinated tofu until crisp, then add a little lime juice to the curry before mixing all the veg and tofu in. Simmer until the broccoli and cauliflower are tender (2-3 mins). The best rice to go with it is Jasmine, and it works a treat if you mix both white and brown together. Coriander and fresh chilli are a nice addition too. Coexist support workspaces for over 200 creative practitioners, artists, designers, social enterprises and small businesses. We also provide community space for people to create, interact, learn, move and play.

Ambient soundscapes framing quirky samples and clicky-clacky interjections, spatial vocals sliding in and out.
Duval Project
Picking up from his much-missed Backyard project, trumpeter Gary Alesbrook brews awesomely funky original jazz with this rocking 5-piece supergroup that also includes Ruth Hammond (sax), Pete Josef (keys/vocals) and the Saffron Monkey rhythm powerhouse of Richie Blake (bass) and Danny Cox (drums).
The Drop Comparatively new band mining pure reggae sweetness from a timeless vault, with honey-voiced singer Dandelion riding faultless Sly’n’Robbie dropbeats into an endlessly sunny horizon. Growling and prowling horns and keyboards mind their manners in new songs that celebrate of the economy of proper dub sounds from the day.
