a lovely performance photograph showing a saxophonist in action during what appears to be a jazz performance. The musician is wearing glasses and a dark shirt, playing what looks like an alto or tenor saxophone. The atmospheric lighting creates a beautiful blue and purple ambiance typical of jazz club settings, with dramatic stage lighting highlighting the performer against the darker background.

a vibrant promotional poster for "Club Groovy Funky Family Fest" taking place on Saturday, 9th August from 1-2pm at The Point Theatre, ARC Stockton. The poster features a bright pink and cream sunburst background with several performers in colourful, fun costumes. There's someone in a yellow chicken/bird costume on the left, and several people in playful, vibrant outfits including tie-dye, sequins, and fringe. A disco ball is prominently featured in the centre of the image. The text is designed in a retro 70s-inspired style, with "FUNKY FAMILY FEST" in large, stylised letters across a yellow/orange paint-splash background. The "Club Groovy" logo appears at the top of the poster. The overall aesthetic is very colourful, playful and aimed at families with children, suggesting a fun, energetic performance or event with a retro disco theme.
