Review: Keith Tippett at the Cafe Oto, April 30th, 2013... 9 May 2013 | 07:18 pm

Minus five here when I got back... but warmed by the musics that I almost avoided through inertia and the onset of a cold. And a surprisingly good turnout for the TappedButSettling gig at the Swan in ...
Into the new year... Pete Morton/Gren Bartley gig... 1 Feb 2012 | 12:46 am
It's been a while... but I have been buried away working on a new project in between the usual annoying illness/fatigue. I have not been to any gigs recently either - but that changes on Friday incom...
Review: Colour out of Space Festival, Brighton, Sunday, 13th February, 2011 29 Nov 2011 | 07:07 am
