Catalyst Club Special
NEW WAYS OF THINKING
Our second event for 2019 in conjunction with Leaping Hare Press, this Catalyst Club special offers three inspiring talks from bibliophile Ella Berthoud, RSPB communicator and bug-lover Vanessa Amarai-Rogers and board game enthusiast Ben Bailey.
Books
Ella Berthoud will share her ideas about mindfulness, reading and bibliotherapy with the audience members, getting everyone involved in a discussion about books and how to read them more, better and mindfully! Have you ever wondered about where your reading time has gone? About what you read, why you read, and how you read? Ella is here to help you sort out your burning reading issues.

Board Games
Ben Bailey is a journalist, musician and gamer. His talk explores the strange connections between the murky world of political propaganda and the seemingly innocent pastime of playing board games. Topics include the feminist origins of Monopoly, the disastrous game that Donald Trump made in the 80s all about himself and the family friendly game from Nazi Germany that even the SS wanted to ban. You will never look at a pair of dice in the same way.
Being bitten by the bug: a talk about bees, beetles and all manner of beasties. Vanessa Amaral-Rogers has loved invertebrates from a very early age when she used to raise caterpillars and collect worms in jars. This turned into something wonderful when she realised that she could continue to do this as an adult – you just have to get used to the weird looks. This talk will explore the beauty of bugs (and other invertebrates) and the importance of cultivating a love for nature from a young age.
Vanessa Amaral-Rogers works for the RSPB as a communicator for birds and other wildlife. As a self-proclaimed bug nerd she has also worked for the international charity Buglife, and regularly appears in the press, raising awareness of bees and all small creatures.

MO KENNEY
+ SOMEBODY’S DAUGHTER
“I am demented and all my friends are scared of me,” Mo Kenney sings on a beloved, unreleased staple of her live shows. “I am an alien waiting for my family.” Connection—the rare times we have and hold onto it tenuously, the lack or loss of it, the search for it, and even the creeping feeling that it may be unattainable—is a defining theme of the Dartmouth, Nova Scotia songwriter’s body of work. It’s no stretch to imagine that it’s maybe the main reason her fans are so passionately drawn to her as an artist and performer, either. In a world where connection becomes increasingly scarce, there’s a quixotic stubbornness in Kenney’s songs, an insistence that forging a bond is worth all the unavoidable pain and heartbreak and self-destruction that might be wrought from it. And there are few songwriters who are able to create such unforgettable melodies while communicating just how rough the ride can be.
Throughout Kenney’s own rough ride, from troubled teenagerdom and teaching herself Elliott Smith songs in her small-town bedroom to battling with her demons on 2017’s eclectic and brash The Details, music has remained constant. At 17, she stunned Maritime rock ‘n’ roll legend Joel Plaskett with a couple songs recorded at her friend’s high school, eventually leading to a long-running collaborative relationship between the two. In 2012, she released her self-titled debut, a powerful first impression that melds her extraordinary knack for nuance—the dreamy, award-winning folk tune “Sucker,” for example—and a clear bent toward sounds more incendiary and ambitious that shows up on the driving kiss-off “Déjà Vu” and her cover of Bowie’s “Five Years,” which explodes with an interstellar crescendo worthy of the Starman. She expands that vibe on In My Dreams, venting existential frustration by almost gleefully urging the listener to blow her head off on the hazy pop of “Take Me Outside,” dabbling in spacey prog rock for the stomping “Mountains to the Mess,” and stylishly sowing sorrow on the title track over subtle, ‘60s-tinged piano, convinced that she’s hallucinated an absent lover.
Kenney pathologically mines the most shadowy corners of herself in order to surface with something unflinchingly honest, but The Details found her exploring uncharted territory. It traces her own strange, devastating, and ultimately hopeful trip through the trials and tribulations of booze-fuelled breakdowns, clouds of depression, and disintegrating relationships. It sounds as fraught as the subject matter demands. “On The Roof” seethes with suffocating anxiety and punchy guitar; the jangle of “Unglued” is deceptively sunshiney, the way someone might force a smile as they’re falling apart; and “Feelin’ Good” offers some real redemption in its weird, soothing sparseness, but feels tentative, as though Kenney is aware things could still unravel at any moment.
It’s this willingness to bare so much of herself—not all, mind you—on record and on stage that draws in fans from all over the world, people far and wide who feel like aliens themselves, looking to connect with anyone or anything. And that illuminates a comforting truth: sometimes the fear that you don’t belong in this world is the most human feeling you can feel. With a touring history that’s seen her play her tunes for swaths of the United States, Europe, Australia, and the UK, the future will find Kenney continuing to tour as much as possible, expanding her sonic reach here on Earth and perhaps beyond, beamed up somewhere deep in the cosmos among other beings like her.
