About this Event
Join This New Ground and Aspex Portsmouth for an unforgettable evening of acoustic music and comedy from artists connected to Carousel, an award winning organisation that nurtures the talents of adults, young people and children with learning disabilities, through a range of projects in music, radio, performance, tv, film and digital art.
Expect surreal stand-up, catchy pop-rock, psychedelic folk, sharp character comedy, and raucous alt-rock in an energetic, playful, and welcoming celebration of distinctive creative voices.
