Fed up of all the doom and gloom.

Has your humour gland has shrivelled up?

Got arthritis in your funny bone?

Don’t like what you see in the mirror?

Feel the need to detox?

Why pay expensive gym fees when a few belly laughs are all that is needed to shake off the excess?

Don’t reach for the Botox to remove those laughter lines. Embrace them.

OPEN MIC, the sit-com is a romp between musical sheets. An autobiographical fiction! A podcast, written and directed by Colin Lever, recorded and produced by Wilson Nash. The pilot episode has been supported by ArtHouseJersey. The whole project, from actors to cover design is a genuine Jersey creation.

SERIES SYNOPSIS: Like a cross between Fleabag and Phoenix Nights, Open-Mic (the sit-com) highlights one woman’s journey to find her voice, after years of servitude. A Rom-Com in reverse, it traces Daph’s hilarious exploits through the vagaries of the open-mic music scene, and the many crazy characters she meets. All are seeking that elusive gig. Will Daph beat them to it, or will her husband, Reg, scupper her dreams?. Whether you are a seasoned musician, or plain tone deaf, Daph’s quest for independence is sure to strike a chord and keep you laughing.

Episode 1: LET’S TALK ABOUT SEX: Escaping Reg’s clutches, Daph gets more than she bargained for when she stumbles into the Open-Mic music scene.

Like many unexpected arrivals, Open-Mic was conceived during lockdown. It’s development has been one of fun and frolics from the beginning. It is sure to tickle your fancy. It contains adult themes so is not for innocent ears.

The podcast will be launched at The Victoria Tavern (by Minden Place) on 20^th Nov. It will be aired as part of actual open-mic night. All are welcome. However there is a limit of sixty due to room restrictions, so if you are coming be sure to get there early.

If you can’t make it, the evening will be filmed and aired on Facebook (Open-Mic, the Sit-Com, page). It will be released on Apple, Spotify and Google. It will also be available to listen to on You Tube.The Open-Mic Facebook group, is full of tasty clips, cartoons and updates. You can listen to a trailer on the You-Tube channel right now. So please come and join us.

This and all other episodes are free to listen to. However, I am looking for sponsorship, so that all can join Daph on her journey and see how it all ends. There is a crowdfunding page at Indiegogo, if you would like to contribute, with lots of gifts to tempt you. If you would like to sponsor an episode or the whole series, please get in touch.

The Link Gallery is located at Jersey Museum & Art Gallery and is an exhibition space between Jersey Museum and the Société Jersiaise. Each month, the gallery features an exhibition by a different Jersey artist, providing local artists with a central space in St Helier to showcase their work.

The Link Gallery is free for Jersey Heritage Members and non-Members

MY HERITAGE, MY HOME

12 October to 27 November

This free community exhibition explores the experience of Black and mixed-race people living in Jersey. This is a partnership between Jersey Heritage and community representative Debi Morris Monro who has collected a wide range of personal testimony over recent months that will be illustrated by a collection of photographic portraits.

We examine the evidence of the Island’s involvement in the transatlantic slave trade, including Jersey’s Lieutenant-Governor Sir George Carteret who was a founder member of the Royal Africa Company that traded in ivory, gold and enslaved people in the 17th century; Captain François Messervy of Jersey who was killed in 1722 during an uprising on board his slave ship off the coast of Africa; and Jersey trader Josué Mauger who in 1752 advertised enslaved people for sale in Nova Scotia, Canada, where his business was based.

This exhibition takes place in the Victorian House at Jersey Museum, with its impressive mahogany staircase, because new research has shown that the house was built partly on the profits of the transatlantic slave trade. ‘Trade Roots’ explores Jersey’s historic links to slavery, from Islanders who owned mahogany plantations overseas and traded in slave-produced goods, to those who campaigned for the abolition of slavery.

Thought-provoking, and at times challenging, this exhibition exposes some uncomfortable new stories from Jersey’s past and examines the legacy and impact of transatlantic slavery on the Island’s community today.

An exhibition that explores how the right to protest has shaped and influenced the Island that we know today.

‘People! Power! Protest!’ explores the story of protest in Jersey, from the Corn Riots of 1769 to the Black Lives Matter movement of 2020.

Jersey may be small but Islanders have made their voices heard loud and clear over the years. Jersey has a fascinating history of protest in the Island and the theme of the exhibition coincides with the 250^th anniversary of the Code of Laws that was introduced in response to the Corn Riots.

The exhibition explores how the right to protest has shaped and influenced the Island that we know today, from historic protests, such as the Corn Riots, to more recent protests such as Extinction Rebellion and Black Lives Matter.

Among the items on display is the official 18^th century court records showing the redacted demands of the Corn Riots protestors, and the petition signed by thousands of people to try and save Queen’s Valley from being flooded in the 1980s. There are also the banners and placards from other protests over the years and photographs of significant post-war campaigns and demonstrations.

As you enter the exhibition ‘People! Power! Protest!’, you’ll see a  stunning graffiti-style entrance wall by designer James Carter, of Midnight Industries. Celebrated local artist Ian Rolls has also created a new version of his iconic climate stripes mural in the environmental protest section of the exhibition.   Visitors can to listen to stories of protest and share their own memories of their involvement in campaigns and demonstrations over the years.

An exhibition at Jersey Archive to mark the Platinum Jubilee.

To mark the Platinum Jubilee, a FREE exhibition at Jersey Archive exploring the Royal Visits of the Monarch to our Island before and during her 70 years on the throne. Using images from the Jersey Evening Post Photo Archive and documents from the archive.

On this gentle meander from St Helier Town Hall, through our charming town of St Helier, where contemporary architecture sits comfortably, and unobtrusively alongside Georgian, Regency and Victorian, meet six Jersey heroes.

Firstly, we meet the heroes of the occupation, whose stories are told in moving quotes in the paving stones of York Street.

The second, a young Victorian Lawyer, Statesman and hero of the people.  A brilliant advocate,  but remembered more as one of the greatest of all Constables of St Helier.

The third, an 11th Century poet, author to Kings and the source of two of the greatest and longest poems in history,

The fourth, the Historian of Jersey, a Rector, Statesman, Island benefactor, and the founder of our very first Library.

The fifth Hero of the 20th Century, the man who guided the Island through the trials of the German Occupation during World War II, and proved a constant thorn in the side of the Head of the Occupying forces;

And finally, we learn of a beautiful and feisty socialite, actress, and author. A women feted on two continents, loved by both a King and a Prince, but who died alone, with only her housekeeper by her side.

Uncover the stories of the sensational six  – walk in their footsteps, and admire the world in which they lived, still visible in the hustle and bustle of modern-day St Helier.
