“The Black Cat occu­pied com­mu­ni­ty social cen­tre is cur­rent­ly homed at the
for­mer Porter Butt pub­lic house on Lon­don Road, Bath, oppo­site the E$$o
sta­tion and next door to Mor­risons. We still have a lot of work to do,
clean­ing and set­ting things up — vol­un­teers always appre­ci­at­ed to the lev­el
of mad, over­bear­ing pup­py enthu­si­as­tic ado­ra­tion, slob­ber and all (nap­kins
pro­vid­ed) — but already have a cou­ple of events lined up:

Tues­days, from 6.15–7.30pm, week­ly free yoga class­es are back on, so come
soak up the authen­tic wood floor­ing and chilled late spring sun­light,
spir­i­tu­al one-ness an’ all

Wednes­day 5th May will present ‘Nev­er Mind the Vote, Here’s the Folk’: an
evening of anti-folk, folk-rap & faux folk with ‘The Casu­al Ter­ror­ist’
(anar­cho anti-folk from New­cas­tle), ‘Clay­ton Bliz­zard’ (Briz­zle’s own chub­by
gui­tar-wield­ing, word­smith vir­tu­oso), and ‘Madame Hat­ter’ (the Black Cat’s
own miss-fit, deca­dence plumb­ing, answer to a very sil­ly ques­tion); run­ning
from 7.30pm-11pm, £3 sug­gest­ed dona­tion entry (though no one turned away for
lack of funds), there will also be cheap veg­an food, and a poten­tial free CD
of one sort or anoth­er for every punter

Sat­ur­day the 8th of May will fea­ture the sec­ond incar­na­tion of Madame
Hat­ter’s ‘Scabrous Cabaret’, at 21.03 hours, free entry, a wide open stage
night for what­ev­er per­for­mances peo­ple can bring, with DJish col­lab­o­ra­tion
from DJ Stoney Mon­ster and DJ Beav­is — dub/dancehall/Balkan beats: “Should
you be prud­ish pud­dings, freak frogs, veg­an vul­tures, break­fast brutes and
funky fruits, bang poets or junk poets or even plain poets, blue cab­bages
and pink trum­pets, mer­ry-go-round trav­ellers or mag­ic round­about surfers and
hul­la-hoop singers, stu­dious stu­dents and naughty rodents, squat­ter­pil­lars
or passers-by, fun­ny flap­ping flow­ers or bloom­ing but­ter­flies, par­ty peo­ple
or burst­ing bub­bles, the usu­al crows and so many more if you’re hun­gry for
the encore, you are all invit­ed to the new edi­tion of Madame Hat­ter’s
scabrous cabaret for a night of sweet delir­i­um open to all sorts of
per­form­ers, artists, poets, sto­ry-tellers… She’s slim and slimy and could eas­i­ly break into your pipery, Beware of Madame Hat­ter coz’ of deca­dence she’s the plumber…”

And fol­low­ing on from that friv­o­li­ty, but in no way less­ened by it, will be
the Bris­tol & Bath Ris­ing Tide meet­ing — a cam­paign­ing group mak­ing a name
for itself tak­ing direct action against the root caus­es of cli­mate
injus­tice, from 7pm — all wel­come

Events at this cur­rent loca­tion will prob­a­bly come to a close fol­low­ing this, as we are due in Bath Coun­ty Court defend­ing against Julian Richer’s pos­ses­sion claim on Fri­day the 7th May. C’est la vie

love, rage and kit­ty lit­ty”
