new Safehouse album: MNO (plus gig pix)

 

Another improv album from Safehouse Brighton – I’m on tracks 1, 17 & 19.  This is the fifth in a series of remote collaborations started over lockdown (am on every one except the first), so I’ll skip the blurb; enough to say it’s a big listen and a deep dive into freeform sound adventure.  It’s also possibly the lightest, most accessible volume so far; who knows what’ll happen when we reach the end of the alphabet…

That’s one extreme, so here’s the reverse – from the Rossi Bar gig in November showing the other end of what I do:

 

1) MF – 2) La Pequena Em – 3) Austerity – 4) Austerity/Gulls (photos by Jimmy Guest)

It’s been a blast, somewhat against expectation given how bleak things looked in January – hope to do a lot more next year, and that everyone’s 2022 is utterly fucking fab.

#SaveOurVenues livestream, Sun 3 May!!!

The Music Venue Trust needs YOU – to help #SaveOurVenues.

#saveourvenues

As part of the #saveourvenues campaign, I’m doing a streamed gig on Facebook to raise funds for The Brunswick – a venue I’ve spent a lot of time in over the last several years, both onstage and audience.

It’s Sunday 3 May, 7pm UK time – on my Facebook page or the venue’s: here.

(Donations can be sent direct to The Brunswick here.)

It’s all quite last-minute, but then the situation’s urgent… and dire… for smaller venues in lockdown: I’m hoping we can all help each other out.  Keep music (a)live!
