I popped over to Huddersfield tonight to watch two performances as part of the Electric Spring Festival 2015 in the Phipps Hall, University of Huddersfield
On first was Sound Sculptor Ben Potts exploring the boundaries between geometry, sound and
sculpture with his piece Cuboid.
And second up was Katie English performing as Isnaj Dui using electronically manipulated flutes and homemade instruments, looped to build up soundscapes. She performed pieces from her CD Euplexia.
Dyonisis organised a live event at West Street Live this evening with four artists taking stage.
First up was guitarist Brontë.
Then Dan Loops with his loop machine, guitar and raps.
Next up was Juxtamahpigeon
Headliners Dyonisis played a lively set of new material and a few regular numbers at the end.
The Sundowners live at The Bodega in Nottingham with Gerald Garratty. Up and coming band She Drew The Gun supported
Horse & Bamboo presents Hansel & Gretel at the Montgomery Theatre.
Went with Sarah Oldfield and enjoyed the production…especially the evil raven.
Sarah gave me a backy on her bike (first time Id done that since childhood) (sadly stolen a few weeks later) and we went to meet Gerald Garratty and Josh Waller at the Radhuni Indian restaurant on London Road.
Black Light Ray are guitarists Paul Dorrington and Missy Tassles (with Victor the drum machine) they played at The Rocking Chair in Sheffield supported by jangly, noisy indiepoppers The Sweet Nothings.
Black Light Ray 10pm
The Sweet Nothings 9.15pm

photo taken with iphone – it’s a small venue!
Ballet School played to just 26 people at Bungalows & Bears with support from Bernard + Edith and The Slow Revolt. Such a shame because they really played well and did a great set. Also very impressive were Bernard + Edith. Top night with Gerald Garratty.
Orchestra of the Upper Atmosphere played to a small audience at Burngreave Cemetery chapel
