Asian Music Ensemble, Thursday (June 3), 1.15pm.
1970s Sheffield, when Meadowhall was a laughable pipe dream and department stores thrived in the “City on the Move,” when there were such iconic things as “The Hole in the Road,” the biggest nightclub in Europe (remember The Fiesta?), Park Hill Flats were a vision of future ‘cities in the sky’ and the city centre boasted Christmas Illuminations to rival Blackpool. Two short films recall the era and Neil Anderson delivers an illustrated talk with rare photos on the city’s boom and bust decade. Thursday (June 3), 7.30pm (£5/ £3 concessions/ £2 unwaged).

Friday, 1.15pm.
Poetry and Jazz with Ian McMillan, the latter from a quintet calling itself ‘Impressions’ – well known jazz musicians in Sheffield, actually: Karen Lake (vocals), Pete Lyons (tenor sax), Jez Matthews (piano), Rich Keates (bass) and Brian Bestall (drums). Among poetic things, the ‘Bard of Barnsley’ will be interspersing the music numbers, including by the likes Turrentine, Jobin and Peycoux with wise thoughts – no-one conveys them better! Friday, 7.30pm (£8/ £5 concessions/ £2.50 unwaged).
Jessop Piano Trio, in-house university threesome. Saturday, 1.15pm.
Krar Collective, perform music and dance from different parts of Ethiopia led by a former star pupil of an Ethiopian vibraphone legend, doubtless playing the ancient five or six-stringed krar harp from the story-telling minstrel tradition. A trio of krar accompanied by a kebero drums player and a vocalist are said to make “a surprisingly complete sound” in the journey through Ethiopian modes and hypnotic rhythms, while the dancers in traditional dress are “jaw-droppingly energetic” in Ethiopian folk dances. Saturday, 7.30pm (£8/ £5 concessions/ £2.50 unwaged).

Sheffield University Big Band, fairly active body of largely student musicians. Monday, 1.15pm.
Sheffield’s Lost Symbols, taking its cue from Dan Brown’s sequel to The Da Vinci Code, The Lost Symbol, which focuses on Freemasonry rituality. The Very Rev Peter Bradley teams up with Freemasonry expert Dr Andreas Onnerfors to explore fact and fiction in Brown’s novel in an illustrated talk, while pointing out the Freemasonry symbolism etched on city centre buildings dating back centuries you probably didn’t know existed.
