✨ What’s on this week 🎟️ Link in bio for tickets On our screens, characters are rethinking who they are and who they might become. In Wild Foxes, a young boxer questions his future, while Mother Mary brings a pop star face-to-face with her past, and The Sheep Detectives finds a flock stepping up to solve a mystery of their own. We’re also turning up the volume as @DocnRollFilms Festival returns, celebrating music documentaries loud and on the big screen. We kick off with How Tanita Tikaram Became A Liar, a raw and personal portrait of the iconic musician, followed by a special Q&A with @TanitaTikaramOfficial herself and director @Natacha_Horn_multimedia_artist . At our events, we welcome back our in-house jazz group, Chapter Four, and Noson Lawen is open to all, whether you want to sing, play or just listen to some great traditional music. ** ✨ Beth sy’n digwydd 🎟️ Dilynwch y ddolen yn y bio am docynnau Wythnos yma ar ein sgriniau, mae cymeriadau’n ailystyried pwy ydyn nhw a phwy allan nhw fod. Yn Wild Foxes, mae bocsiwr ifanc yn cwestiynu ei ddyfodol, tra bod Mother Mary yn dod â seren bop wyneb yn wyneb â’i gorffennol, ac yn The Sheep Detectives gwelwn haid o ddefaid yn camu i’r adwy i ddatrys dirgelwch. Rydyn ni’n troi’r sain i fyny wrth i Ŵyl Ffilmiau Doc’n Roll ddychwelyd, i ddathlu ffilmiau dogfen cerddoriaeth yn y ffordd gywir: yn swnllyd ac ar y sgrin fawr. Mae’r ŵyl yn dechrau gyda How Tanita Tikaram Became a Liar, portread amrwd a phersonol o’r cerddor eiconig, cyn sesiwn holi ac ateb arbennig gyda Tanita a’r cyfarwyddwr Natasca Horn. Yn ein digwyddiadau, rydyn ni’n falch iawn o gael croesawu grŵp jazz y tŷ ‘nôl, sef Pedwarawd Chapter, ac mae Noson Lawen yn agored i bawb, dewch â’ch ffidil, crwth, pibgorn, llais ac yn sicr dewch â hwyl!

COMMS FAIL by Roy Claire Potter is a new sound installation in our gallery from 27 June – 1 August. Shaped by an autistic approach to communication, where meaning is not only carried by words but through pattern, rhythm, texture and environment. Sound moves through objects, surfaces and bodies. COMMS FAIL is an evolving project moving across performance, radio, exhibition and publication, with each version building from the last. This iteration extends a live performance first staged in Liverpool and broadcast on Resonance FM, into a month-long listening environment. Roy is an artist writer whose practice spans experimental writing, vocal performance, drawing, sound art and installation. Their work explores communication constraints, subtext and complex group dynamics – often with a wilful humour. COMMS FAIL is a @WeAreUnltd Partner Award 2025 commission with @LiverpoolBiennial , made possible by Arts Council England (@ACEagrams ). ** Gosodwaith sain newydd gan Roy Claire Potter yw COMMS FAIL a fydd yn yr oriel rhwng 27 Mehefin ac 1 Awst. Mae wedi’i lywio gan ddull awtistig o gyfathrebu, lle nad geiriau yn unig sy’n cario ystyr ond patrwm, rhythm, gwead ac amgylchedd. Mae sain yn symud drwy wrthrychau, arwynebau a chyrff. Mae COMMS FAIL yn brosiect esblygol, gan symud ar draws perfformiadau, radio, arddangosfeydd a chyhoeddi, gyda phob fersiwn yn adeiladu ar y diwethaf. Mae’r cam yma’n ehangu ar berfformiad byw a lwyfannwyd am y tro cyntaf yn Lerpwl ac a ddarlledwyd ar Resonance FM, mewn amgylchedd gwrando dros gyfnod o fis. Artist ac awdur yw Roy, y mae eu gwaith yn cynnwys ysgrifennu arbrofol, perfformiadau lleisiol, arlunio, celf sain a gosodwaith. Mae eu gwaith yn archwilio cyfyngiadau cyfathrebu, is-destun, a deinameg grŵp cymhleth – yn aml â hiwmor bwriadol. Mae COMMS FAIL yn waith comisiwn Gwobr Partner @WeAreUnltd 2025 gyda Gŵyl Ddwyflynyddol Lerpwl, a wnaed yn bosib diolch i Gyngor Celfyddydau Lloegr (@ACEagrams ).
