Ian Brown British Sea Power Badly Drawn Boy 27th August 2005
British Sea Power started the evening, this is their second time at the Eden sessions and a warm welcome was given by the crowd.
The finale of British Sea Power session included a bear on stage.
Saranda Bogujeci spoke about the night's benefactor, Manchester Aid to Kosovo, and her tragic story surviving the massacre in 1999 The Eden project has joined the charity in building a peace park in Saranda's home town in Kosovo to remember those who died. www.makonline.org
Next on was BDB 'Damon Gough', he held the crowds spell bound with his newly written lyrics and even a karaoke session to a Jackson 5 number.
Most of the crowd had come to see top of the bill 'Ian Brown'
Ian gave an energetic performance and the well lubricated crowd loved him, and at the end of the concert called for an encore, but were disappointed.
All in all another magical Season of Sessions 4 + 1 this year with an extra for Live 8 You can never be sure another might not be squeezed in before the stage becomes an Ice rink once again. Think the Stones are on tour!!
Thank you to everyone who have worked so hard behind the stage curtains, all the staff at Eden and I'm sure ever one is looking forward to next year sessions already!
My special thanks to Bryher and Dave for their help with getting my photo pass. Bryher (black jacket) talking to Christine (yellow jacket) Dave in the picture on the right, pointing out the emergency exits to the beer tents.

| ‘The
Man Who Owned the Earth’ is being staged by the Eden Performance Team,
whose previous programme of shows at Glastonbury Festival last summer and
over Christmas and early spring, delighted audiences – both young and old.
“The show isn’t heavy duty, however, it has a lot of humour – as you would imagine from one of the Monty Python team – but it does ask us to think a little more carefully about how we use our resources.” Every Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday in the Eden Arena at 11am and 2pm, throughout the
summer. There is no additional price for watching the show - it is
included in the standard admission prices into Eden.

Mexican Day of the Dead (report)‘Madame Muertos presents a celebration of the Mexican Day of the Dead’ Devised and Directed by Cal McCrystal Something a bit different took place on October 31 for 4 nights It is non seated and starts at the Visitor Centre and movers on around the site. In the Biomes with the main performance in the Warn Temperate Biome consisted of a theatrical extravaganza with lots of surprises featuring a myriad of bizarre characters, clowning, dance, aerial spectacle, live music and a party.
Passing the car crash to the way down to the biomes - the dead bride in the Malaysian house as you were guided round the HTB (below) dancers and the finale party in the WTB Not forgetting the huge skeleton that surprised every one or the heap of dead children in the HTB It all added up to something spookily a bit different around Halloween. |

duo Show of Hands. Steve Knightley and Phil Beer were joined during the

for their atmospheric music." Copy by Susan Way. (reporter on site)
