7pm: Rag’n'Bones - Within the free collective RNB (aka Black Shoe Polish, BSP). Words that should never be said, collide with notes that should never be played. Fiery poetic readers Tryg Hanson, & Rex Butters slap sense into words through multi-dimensional discourse. Gerry Fialka, Merritt Evan Raff, Alex Soschin & guests combine fantastical funky sounds from drums, guitars & keyboards in a cauldron of controlled chaos, creating ink stained improvisational interplay. Spoken Word and Free Improvisation as it was never meant to be, Rag'n’Bones reconvenes the Inconceivable with righteous rascality.

8:30pm: ERIC AHLBERG'S JAZZ WORKSHOP - Lyrical multi-
instrumentalist Ahlberg, along with Sam Clay, Freddie Ginns & Merritt Evan Raff, recall the explorations of Gil Scott-Heron, Public Enemy, Hank Williams, The Art Ensemble of Chicago, George Carlin and John Coltrane with tasty world beat tangents.
