Hi MD .. ...Lots of local gigs, but not really my sort of jazz, although I sometimes throw in the odd F#13b9 just for a laugh. We have a keen and loyal audience of octogenarians, so we have to STOP playing at 9pm, which is when most jazzers are thinking about starting !
I see you were in Caernarfon on the night I played Bangor; Have to say Blue Skies is great venue, nice size for Jazz or poetry, check it out.
hello there md... thanks for performing at the peace tour - a very great time was had by all me thinks although we are still struggling to recover at the mo! sophie & andy
Why hellooo.....It's Oi Mush week!!! (13 - 20 Sept). If enough of us buy the track this week, it'll go to number one!! (Probably......). Watch the video and follow the link here......
holophon.ca is a concert series and audio collective based in Regina, SK that engages with sound as an artistic medium, with a focus on uniting various artistic, geographical and cultural communities through sound-work. In partnership with Tracy Hamon, a poet and writer from Regina, SK we are planning a collaborative concert that reacts against perceptions of post-post modernism by reaching back to modernist roots for inspiration.
Whether it’s Symbolist, Impressionist, or Gertrude Stein’s hermetic word portraits, consider the exchange as an opportunity to emphasize your work. We are seeking submissions that engage modernism as an integral trend of thought that affirms our power to create. The open call accepts:
pre-recorded material
performance
sound/slam/text based poetry
or any combinations thereof
no more than 15 minutes of material/work or 15 pages of text
This event will occur in Regina, SK on Nov. 7, 2009 as the launching of holophon.ca's season two of programming. Artists are not required to be in attendance at this event: honorariums will be paid, but we cannot support artist travel fees at this time. Submissions must be received by Sept. 25, 2009.
PLEASE INCLUDE WITH EACH SUBMISSION
