Dystopian Future Movies and Fvnerals at Bodega, Nottingham with Gerald Garratty



A good mixture of music this evening comprising two Sheffield bands Promenade Cinéma and Animat supporting headline Ambient Dub act Banco de Gaia at the Corporation in Sheffield with Gerald Garratty.




A great electro set from Isis Moray and the catchy alternative dance beats of Reflecktor at the Washington with Anto Guerra-Gabaldon.


With Gerald Garratty tonight to see Stems provide a live soundtrack to three vintage Georges Méliès movies, followed by a 15 minute live score to footage from the Hubble Telescope. This was part of Sheffield’s Sensoria Festival Stems – Sensoria festival

Father Murphy at Chameleon Arts Cafe, Nottingham with support from Deadbeat at Dawn, Muscle & Marrow and Carla Bozulich.

Deadbeat at Dawn stimulating beats


Father Murphy had one processed drum, mini keyboard, a brass instrument and a four stringed gadget that played base notes and provided wonderful percussive and string based vibes. The set was played with a finely tuned connection between the duo from Italy, providing an intense soundscape of dark beauty. Particularly liked a technique Chiara applied to the side of a battered cymbal – mesmerising!


Tramlines day 2 -an interesting evening of ethereal, improvised nu-jazz, alt rock and some rock’n’roll. At The Three Cranes (Inclusion Principle and Frostlake), City Hall Ballroom (Basement) and Frog and Parrot (cant remember). Would have gone to grime event at 02 with my sons but my blagged pass didn’t prove worthy, so bouncers said no!
