New Featured Guest: SisterTree

We’re giving you Doctors, companions, writers, artists, and now musicians! We are pleased to announce that SisterTree will be joining us at CONsole Room 2017.

SisterTree is a musical duo made up of band members Dee Brust and Kerri Joy. They render radiant, expansive harmonies for strings and voices that are grounded in Traditional Roots, Celtic, and Americana. Their music includes original and traditional tunes and folk ballads, favorites and downright far-fetched selections suited to many occasions. Exploring with an independent spirit, roving over the wild and storied landscapes of life, collecting, tinkering, and translating their heritage, they seek the alchemy of fulfillment through self-expression.

Welcome Janet Fielding to CONsole Room 2017!

We are pleased to announce that Janet Fielding will be joining us as a Guest of Honour at CONsole Room 2017!

In the Whoniverse, Fielding played Tegan Jovanka, an Australian air stewardess who accompanied both the Fourth and Fifth Doctors on their adventures through time and space. Fielding left Doctor Who in 1983 but has since reprised her role as Tegan in various Doctor Who specials and Big Finish audio plays.

Outside of Doctor Who, Fielding has worked in a number of other roles in the film industry. She is a founder of Women in Film and Television UK and started Project MotorHouse, a charity that works with deprived youth. Fielding has also worked as a theatrical agent for clients such as Simon Callow, Hugh Bonneville, and even Eighth Doctor Paul McGann.
