Fire of Love / Void Fraction at Sinema Llangoed
A geologically inspired double feature in collaboration with GeoMôn UNESCO Geopark.
“Understanding is love’s other name.”
Katia and Maurice Krafft loved two things — each other and volcanoes. For two decades, the daring French volcanologist couple roamed the planet, chasing eruptions and documenting their discoveries. Ultimately, they lost their lives in a 1991 volcanic explosion, leaving a legacy that forever enriched our knowledge of the natural world.
A short film by artists Mari Rose Pritchard and Julie Upmeyer as part of their ongoing artistic exploration of limestone, limestone quarries and their by-products.
‘Void Fraction - Archiving Conjecture’ is a performative installation and art film connecting the library at the Geological Society of London with Aber Quarry on Ynys Môn.
“Entangling ourselves with the structure of ‘the geological archive’, we installed our alternate card catalogue in the library at the Geological Society of London. The drawer contained 52 catalogue cards which corresponded to book-shaped ‘bookstones’ made from limestone offcuts. The stones were shelved throughout Society’s library, their shelf-marks corresponding to the library’s own book classification system, suggesting that perhaps stones themselves could be part of the collection.” - Mari Rose & Julie

Non-Psychic Seance
Inspired by the response to his 'The Non-Psychic 'Psychic' Show, and his book 'A Study in Psychic', ‘The Non-Psychic Seance,’ invites attendees to step back in time to the Victorian era. This unique performance captures the intrigue of a (Fraudulent) seance utilizing magical techniques, all while sharing riveting tales of psychic hoaxes from the early twentieth century. It’s an engaging mix of history, comedy and illusion that sparks curiosity and thought-provoking conversation. As with 'The Non-Psychic 'Psychic' Show' the show makes no statement about the truth of 'Psychic' powers, and only discusses those who are knowingly committing fraud.
The performance stems from my stage show, 'The Non-Psychic 'Psychic' Show', but brings it into a more intimate setting with a maximum of 40 people in the audience for each performance. As with my other shows, the inspiration of the great Harry Houdini is always lurking in the air as well.
Get ready for an evening that combines the spooky with the funny, as 'The Non-Psychic 'Psychic'', magician Greg Chapman, takes his new performance on tour in Autumn 2025, and knew immediately that he wanted to bring the show to Llangoed Village Hall after enjoying two performances in the hall before.

About Community Sponsorship
One of the UK Home Office's legal routes for refugees to enter the UK, Community Sponsorship is a way for local communities, civil society organisations, charities, and faith groups to be directly involved in helping refugees settle in the UK. Community sponsors provide emotional and practical support to empower families to rebuild their lives in safety, and to become self-sufficient members of their new community. Since 2018 Croeso Menai has sponsored two vulnerable families, one from Syria and one from Iraq, who have started new lives in Wales.
Community Refugee Sponsorship - CM Team 3
Croeso Menai work with the Home Office, Reset, and a Lead Sponsor charity, who specialise in Community Sponsorship. CM Team 3 membership is made up of local volunteers including two Afghan women. They both live in Bangor, having been granted permission to come to the UK after fleeing Afghanistan. Khatera, who was a University Lecturer in Afghanistan, is studying for a PhD and Zakia hopes to train as a midwife. With Khatera and Zakia as Team Members, Croeso Menai plan to provide a home for an Afghan family that includes women and girls - changing their future prospects through access to education.
Our first task is to raise £9,000 as a fund to be used for the costs associated with providing a home for the refugee family. A house, rented from a supportive private landlord, is being prepared through generous donations of furniture and household goods. We have already raised half the money we need and hope to bring a family to Wales by the end of this year.
“Bread & Roses,” an Eyan Foundation presentation is produced by Jennifer Lawrence alongside executive producer Malala Yousafzai, Nobel Peace Prize winner.

Former ELO 2 Star and Frontman Phil Bates ‘Up Close And Personal’
Former ELO2 frontman Phil Bates Village Voices tour comes to Llangoed Village Hall. An intimate show which features classic songs of ELO, The Beatles and of course some of Phil’s solo work.
Doors Open 7:00 pm
Show Starts 7:30 pm
Tickets £14, Children £8
Phil’s connection with ELO music goes back 30 years when, in 1993, he joined Bev Bevan, Kelly Groucutt, Mik Kaminski, Lou Clark - all ELO members - and Eric Troyer, in ELO Part2.
ELO Part2 toured the world in the next 6/7 years, doing concerts in USA, Canada, SouthAmerica, Central America, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand, Russia, Eastern Europe, Europe, Scandinavia, and the UK, many times with full orchestras.
In fact, Phil’s connection with ELO goes farther back to the 1970s when Phil’s band, Trickster, were labelmates, resulting in Trickster supporting ELO on their groundbreaking 1978 Spaceship Tour.
In the 1980, Phil formed Don’t Panic with wife, Joanna Bates, and spent 3 years playing in Middle East in Dubai, Sharjah, and Abu Dhabi.
Phil and Jo were also members of Birmingham legends, Quill.
1990s saw Phil sing the theme tine from the TV show, The Gladiators, alongside songwriting, lead vocals, guitars and bass for AOR band, Atlantic. The album, ‘Power’ is legend amongst AOR fans to this day.
1993 to 2003 saw Phil take a break from music and study for BA Hon in History at Lampeter University. Phil joined Bev Bevan in a project that became Bev Bevan’s Move in 2003, but left to join old friends from ELO Part2 in The Orchestra in 2007. Then he toured the UK with the highly regarded Eleanor Rigby Experience who specialised in reworking the classic songs of Lennon and McCartney and not forgetting Harrison. Phil Bates colleague in The Eleanor Rigby Experience vocalist Tina McBain was also part of Phil’s Beatles,Blues,And,Blue, Violin project alongside another of his colleagues Mik Kaminski (ELO ELO 2 The Orchestra) they released one album and did three UK tours.
Alongside this, Phil has been the major player in a German ELO project, which still gigs extensively all over Europe, and points east, to this day. These days known as Phil Bates Band play the music of ELO.
Phil’s solo albums - Naked (1996) - Agony and Ecstasy (1998) - Alter Ego (2003) - One Sky (2005) - Retrospektiv (2007). Then a LONG gap, which will be broken by the release of ‘The Story So Far …….’, probably early 2024, and ‘The Truth’, hopefully later in 2024.
A 3-track single ‘Port in a storm’, ‘Empty Rooms’, plus one of Phil’s re-imaginings of an ELO song will escape later in 2023.
‘Up Close and Personal’ sees Phil solo, playing reimaginings of ELO, Beatles, Trickster, Atlantic, classic songs from the extensive pop/rock/blues songbook, and songs from some of Phil’s favourite songwriters - Stevie Wonder, Tom Waits, Steve Earle, Bruce Springsteen, Gerry Rafferty, Keb Mo, Ry Cooder …… plus a smattering of blues, and a soupćon of Celtic.
Plus, some talking about 56 years of Phil Bates musical history ….. if anyone wants to hear an old fart talking about ‘the good old days’
