Longstone / Brickwerk 's long time sax/ bass clarinet player and good friend Chris Cundy has been touring and recording with the Guillemots. This has lead to a recent live colaboration with the fantastic multi instrumentalist and theremin king, M C Lord Magrao of the Guillemots,mixing the the ambient electronics of Brickwerk/longstone with the improvised sax of Mr Cundy and the impressive array of M C's effects and theremin with awesome results. It is hoped that more of these live collaborations will happen soon and studio sessions have occurred with hopefully more planned .... watch this space!
