However\, whilst tipping a nod to the past\, the event will present some of the idea s and concepts from those halcyon days in a manner that illustrates their relevance now as well as then.\n\nThe Happening will be a contemporary ‘ gathering of the tribes’\, bringing together various creative individual s and collectives\, both locally and from places including Northampton whe re Alan Moore has rekindled the town’s Arts Lab\, Brighton\, home of aut hor John Higgs\, The Odditorium and Daisy Eris Campbell - whose heroic Cos mic Trigger Conferestival\, held at Liverpool’s Camp &\; Furnace in 2 014\, was a key connector in the quest to ‘find the others’ - and Shef field\, where Festival 23 provided last summer’s get-together\, the myce lium network spreading ever wider.\n\nWith Liverpool being historically fe rtile ground for counterculture\, the event will explore some of the aspec ts that make up the city’s creative underbelly - the modern mythos surro unding Carl Jung\, Mathew Street and the Eric’s era\, including the colo ssal contribution of Roger Eagle\, as well as Liverpool’s unique connect ion with black American music - plus its own\, often obscured black music legacy - explored by local archivists Next Stop New York\, with contributi on from Liverpool hip hop collective No Fakin’.\n\nThere will be a room dedicated to local bands and acts\, featuring various underground and up-a nd-coming musicians from the different scenes within Liverpool\, whilst th e main hall will play host to local heroes\, The Tea Street Band plus the label’s own Super Weird Society featuring Kermit Leveridge\, The Reynold s and The Reverend Cleve Freckleton\, as the evening moves into a full-on party vibe\, concluding\, as is the way of the Happenings\, with a Greg Wi lson DJ set.\n\nThe event’s main aim is to bring people together in a fu n and colourful yet engaging and illuminating environment. The full line-u p\, listing what’s taking place in the main spaces\, plus all the nooks and crannies\, will be announced later this month\, pre-release tickets ar e on sale for a limited period at £10 + booking fee.\n\nThere will be no fees paid to any of the participants - the goodwill and generosity of the all the artists who’ve been approached has reflected the spirit of the c ollective - and all proceeds will go to The Florrie\, which is constantly in need of funds\, surviving largely through the passion of the good peopl e who run it.\n\nwww.superweirdsubstance.com\n\nCOMETH THE MOMENT\, COMETH THE MANDRILL\n\nBook via Skiddle here: https://www.skiddle.com/whats-on/ Liverpool/The-Florrie-/14-Hour-Super-Weird-Happening/12914946/\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.artinliverpool.com/wp-content/upload s/2017/03/Super-Weird-Happening-poster-15-copy.jpg LOCATION:The Florrie\, 377 Mill Street\, Liverpool\, L8 4RF\, Liverpool\, U nited Kingdom GEO:53.383972;-2.969713 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=377 Mill Street\, Liverpool \, L8 4RF\, Liverpool\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=The Flor rie:geo:53.383972,-2.969713 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20170326T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0000 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 TZNAME:BST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
