Campfire Club: Bonfire Night

At the Nest Collective we love nothing more than sharing in the joy of live music outdoors by the fireside. In the simple way that people have done for thousands of years, we come together around the fire to enjoy music, food, drink and the company of others.

The Master Shipwright’s is a gorgeous venue in the heart of Deptford, and many of you will know it as the site of our summer festival each year. Take in the breathtaking, expansive views across the water as we celebrate Guy Fawkes Night with extraordinary music and storytelling. Catch sight of fireworks erupting around the city from the banks of London’s iconic waterway.

If the heat of the fire wasn’t enough, we’ll also be selling hot food & drinks to keep you warm on this November eve.

This event will be hosted by the amazing storyteller Jan Blake.

Jan Blake has been performing worldwide for over twenty-five years. Specialising in stories from Africa, the Caribbean, and Arabia, she has a well-earned reputation for dynamic and generous storytelling.

‘The people on earth need heat & warmth, in the form of fire, but none are brave enough to ascend to the heavens to procure it, except for Osun, Goddess of Beauty, for which must pays a high price.’

Drawing on the vast array of myths form the Yoruba tradition, Jan will share this and other tales of human’s fascination with fire.

This event will feature live music from Dizraeli.

Poet, producer, firestarter. Songwriter-MC, multi instrumentalist-raconteur… Dizraeli is a genre of his own.
He’s collaborated with artists as diverse as Kae Tempest, Jam Baxter and Eliza Carthy in his explorations of the crossover between hiphop, folk, bass music and all between.
His unswerving devotion to pushing the boundaries of lyricism and musical form has earned him a bona fide cult status among those who know, and the raw honesty and humour he brings to his writings on his own mental health, sexuality and the liberation of the human spirit has drawn people together of all shades and ages around his work.

Another artist for this event is to be announced.
