Inspired by The Small Faces' Happiness Stan, this specially commissioned spoken word/ vid/ music event is a collaborative original work: words and story provided by Big Mouth local poet and author Rosemary Dun and Bath-based ARCC providing their unique improvised soundtracking and vid mixing. Come and be surprised, stunned and beguiled by this modern day fable of love and redemption from the death of the 60s to terrorist attacks. Expect boats, hippies, sounds, and hope.
