About The Event

DOX is a duo with Swiss keyboardist Oli Kuster and UK saxophonist Dee Byrne with special guest Swiss drummer Xavier Kaeser. DOX merges jazz with modular electronics to
create fractured ambient landscapes, free improvisation, and glitch-laden beats. The trio will visit material from their new album 'Drowned Circuits' using it as a springboard for sonic exploration - colouring inside and outside the lines.

Dee Byrne - alto sax/effects
Oli Kuster - modular synth/keyboard
Xavier Kaeser - drums
.. intense, risk-taking, unpredictable, and restless, attempting to bring modern jazz back
to the dance floors. It demands a full surrender, and clearly blurs the distinction between
jazz, free improvisation, and electronic music.' Eyal Hareuveni, Salt Peanuts

'Seven pieces of improvised music that are both adventurous and accessible, the balance
between improvisation and structure continues to fascinate.' The Jazz Mann ★★★★

SUN SCHOOL by QUIXOTE CRAZY - book launch

21 Jun 2026, 12:00 – 15:00
The Hot Tin, Whitstable Rd, Faversham ME13 8BD, UK

Acclaimed local painter and author, Michael Hempstead, under his pen name Quixote Crazy, launches his new fantastical book for children. Michael will present his book with a talk, imagery, Q+A and book signing, with first edition copies available.

ABOUT Sun School:

Two sets of boy and girl twins discover that their very strange school (it is a giant yellow cake with candles burning on top of it) is above the Ancient Greek Underworld. 
There they meet Venus, the goddess of love, who tells them that 3,000 years ago at Delphi they were prophesied as the only people with a chance of saving the world in the future, “two plus two will equal more.” 

The Sun and the Earth are attracted by a strange magnetism which is distorting everything and making the world weird. However, only children can see this; no adult can. 

So the children have to somehow get the grown-ups to see the truth, to stand any chance of saving the Earth from a terrible fate inflicted by the Sun, which should be its source of life, not death.

The story is funny and dramatic simultaneously, and has twists and turns of comical and fantastical events as it heads towards a stupendous conclusion.
