FRINGE TALK: MON 18 JUNE 7:30PM THE PAVILION
Three days of illumination from some of the University’s brightest minds. Each evening event features two short talks and is free – though to guarantee a seat reserve online at www.fringefest.org.uk
Doug Burnham – The Aesthetics of WineMany of us enjoy a glass of wine, on its own or with a meal, but we don’t tend to give our enjoyment a lot of thought. WHY do we enjoy wine? There are the obvious reasons: the alcohol content, or the pleasurable and cleansing sensations of fruits and acids. Is there something more to be said, for example a relationship between how wine is experienced and the kinds of experiences we get from art? We will address these questions, accompanied of course by a glass of wine!
TONY CRAIG - ON THE FRINGES OF POLITICSBritish counter-intelligence and extremist politic groups in interwar Britain.This lecture on the interwar activities of MI5 looks at their expansion into the investigation of extreme left wing and right wing political groups prior to the World War Two. It uses material now released by the National Archives to shed light upon the activities of these groups before looking critically at what we now know British intelligence missed.

FRINGE TALK: Weds 20 June 7:30pm The Pavilion
Nick Clements - The Artist As EntrepreneurIn the business, science and technology fields more entrepreneurs
are needed. The qualities found in entrepreneurs are: being imaginative, creative, flexible and risk taking. All second nature to
the ‘artist’ or ‘creative’. Isn’t it time ‘creatives’ took their rightful place as vital players in the creation of community, not luxuries?
David Noble: A Cabinet of CuriositiesSome Thoughts on the Beguiling Pleasures of Photographic Pictures We are surrounded by
photographic pictures. The capacity to optically make visual our world intrigues, excites, describes
and perhaps at times makes us anxious. Pictures appear like puzzles that require or demand, they
yield meaning, with meaning we know something and master uncertainty. However like particular
forms of poetry particular photographs can resist explanation. This talk wonders why that might be by considering the strange Surrealist case of the
Mexican Jumping Bean.luxuries?
JOHN HOLDEN: Passion and Pain; Life and Football
A 30 minute walk down the trials and tribulations of life and supporting your football team.
“I fell in love with football as I would later fall in love with women: suddenly, uncritically, giving no
thought to the pain it would bring.” Nick Hornby (Opening sentence from Fever Pitch)
“My fault, my failure, is not in the passions I have, but in my lack of control of them.”
Jean-Louis “Jack” Kerouac American novelist and poet, and a pioneer of the beat generation.
Ray Johnson: Fringe Theatre: Tales of a travelling Rogue and Vagabond Ray - an independent film-
maker, actor and writer - has produced 21 shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, won a Fringe
First award, and toured nine new one-man plays professionally. Designing, staging, performing and
all the pitfalls!
