After a career in health and social care, Angela Barnes took the plunge and embarked on her life-long dream to be a comedian. Within a couple of years she had won the 2011 BBC New Comedy Award and became a finalist at the 2011 Latitude Festival New Act of the Year competition. Since 2011, Angela and her witty worldview have been catapulted onto numerous radio and television shows including appearances on BBC One’s Mock The Week, Love At The Apollo and BBC Radio 4’s The News Quiz.
In 2017 she took over the prestigious role as host of BBC Radio 4 Extra’s Newsjack. She is now about to host her 4th and final series of the show. Angela had a series commissioned based on her debut Edinburgh show You Can’t Take It With You which saw her write and perform four 30 minute episodes for BBC Radio 4. After three sell out Edinburgh runs Angela hits the road with her show Fortitude. She can also be seen in Edinburgh this year where she’ll debut her new show Rose Tinted.
Say hello to DJ Mel Fusion, the next level in party entertainment. This isn’t just a DJ set. It’s a full-sensory experience featuring live vocals, saxophone, and percussion, all performing alongside Mel as she mixes the tracks you love.
We’re not a band… we’re a movement. We don’t just stay on stage – we’re in the crowd, on the floor, in the moment. It’s music you know, performed in a way you’ve never experienced.

MIND Jersey
Our Chosen Charity for the 7th Annual TechAwards
MIND Jersey
Mind Jersey is an independent local charity that provides support to people living with mental illness. Our vision is of a society that promotes and protects good mental health for all, and that treats people with experience of mental health problems fairly, positively and with respect.
We offer a number of services to ensure our community can be supported with their mental health, but also increase awareness and education about the difference between mental health, wellbeing and mental illness. To support people isolated because of mental health problems we recently opened ‘Friends of Mine’ drop-in centre/cafe which is situated in Seale Street behind the town hall. Providing practical and emotional support for anyone 18 years old and over, no registration or referral needed.
To help fund our free community services we also have services which provide an income, the Training services and Nearly New shop. Our newest training offering is our ‘Managers Guide to Mental Health’ course, which is about recognising the managers role in supporting mental health through observing signs, starting a conversation, and providing support and signposting.
For more information go to the Mind Jersey website.
