Friday March 29
Mr Scruff at Canvas
| Canvas Loft Bar 45 Poole Hill, BH2 5PW Bournemouth |
Before we delve into April events, don’t miss Mr Scruff at Canvas, on Poole Hill, this Friday. Before heading off to Paris, he’s playing Bournemouth and Southampton. Bringing his unique brand of funk, electro and tech, you can expect floor-filling tracks past and present. He’s best known for his mixing skills… and his love of tea. See www.bournemouthnews.info for a preview.

Canvas Comedy with Jen Brister
| Canvas Loft Bar 45 Poole Hill, BH2 5PW, Bournemouth |
The Canvas Comedy show is a relatively new monthly night and ideal for a Saturday night out that doesn’t involve a hangover… necessarily! Instead, buy one of Canvas’s cool cocktails and enjoy the comedy stylings of Jen Brister, who you may have seen on BBC shows such as Live At The Apollo. Your host for the night of shots and giggles is Luke Honnoraty. See www.canvasbournemouth.com for £8 early bird tickets.
Friday April 19
Poole St George’s Day Family Music & Beer Festival
| Poole St George’s Day Festival The St Aldhelm’s Centre, Branksome |
Celebrate England’s patron saint with your friends and family at The St Aldhelm’s Center. There will be live local and tribute acts but the main attraction will be the beer tent, for sure.
