New collaboration for 2010

The Pavilion is pleased to announce the first of a series of new collaborations for 2010, working with TheAbsurd.co.uk, the online alternative culture magazine for North Wales.

The collaboration will cover the spoken word, new music and arts, with the first event being the Pavilion's relaunch concert on Wednesday May 26th, which amongst other local artists will feature poets and musicians selected by Sophie McKeand and Andy Garside from TheABSURD.The Mold-based pair are already established successful promoters of local culture and will offer The Pavilion a vital connection to the vibrant local arts scene.

The Pavilion's Interim Venue Director, Michael Hughes, commented "I have huge respect for what Sophie and Andy do, and the passion with which they do it. This collaboration will be one of the key markers of the Pavilion's new direction." A number of ideas and events are already being progressed jointly, and with other partners, and will be announced soon.
