| Climate Chaos Kitchen presents Transition Towns | |
| “Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex and more violent. It takes the touch of genius - and a lot of courage - to move in the opposite direction.” - Albert Einstein We live in an oil dependant world, and have got to this level of dependency in a very short space of time - without thinking ahead to plan for when the oil reserves are not so plentiful. Most of us avoid thinking about what happens when oil runs out or, as is happening now, becomes increasingly expensive. The Transition Town movement is one response to the profound and inevitable changes we’re facing because of peak oil and global warming. A rapidly growing network of places have decided not to wait for government action, but to work together to grow their own food, produce their own power, create sustainable transport systems and a whole lot more. There are already over 35 Transition initiatives in the UK - it’s even happening on the Archers! The future with less oil could, if enough thinking and design is applied in advance, be preferable to the present. Climate Chaos Kitchen is pleased to welcome - alongside the usual delicious dinner and video booth excitement - our guest speaker, Paul Chatterton from Transition City Leeds. Paul will be talking about the Transition concept and it’s a chance to find out what all the fuss is about, how it works in other areas, and could it work here? COME! |

Over the following two decades, Stephen has built up a very loyal and committed international audience, one sure to be delighted by his beautiful new recording. Over the course of his career Fearing has been able to learn from some of roots music’s finest producers. Clive Gregson (Any Trouble, Gregson and Collister) produced his acclaimed 1989 album, Blue Line; Steve Berlin (Los Lobos) was on hand for 1994’s The Assassin’s Apprentice (a disc featuring fans Sarah McLachlan and Richard Thompson). He’s performed at festivals around the world including WOMAD and Reading. Another good ‘un from Mr Tilston. |  Photo © Patrick Harbron |
