Foulkestone

A wonderful, lovely, satisfying Foulkestone second gig at Scaledown on Friday. Thank you to Mark Braby and co for hosting a great night. Nice to see Sexton Ming briefly, although couldn't stay for his improvisation.

The vocoder sounded great on Pace Egging song - in which we requested money from the audience via a traditional song. This was opportune as donations were sought almost immediately afterwards.

A very nice evening. Video coming soon.

Scaledown - Fri 24 June

A lovely gig is coming up next month at the King and Queen, Foley Street, in the shadow of the Post Office Tower. My Foulkestone colleague, Richard Sanderson is also on the bill, promoting his solo melodeon CD. I will be performing new improvisations from the World News Vision project, perhaps using my new analogue synth so long as I can work out how to use it.

Scaledown - tales from the Orchestra Pit

Had a lovely gig last night at Scaledown at the King and Queen on Foley Street. Thank you Mark Braby for putting me on.

The lovely John from BlackDogHat came down and gave me some support as did my old chum Sarah Clarke. Sarah and I had sherry, toasting our recent happy days in Madrid.

Richard Sanderson, Foulkestone colleague played his melodeon with various effects alongside the bearded Mark Pilkington. It wasn't the Mark Pilkington from Manchester. I made a fool of myself asking him if he had come down from Manchester that day. He hadn't of course. But he had got a synthesizer he had built out of all kinds of assemblages, and it looked like a telephone exchange.
