Father Murphy at Chameleon Arts Cafe, Nottingham
Father Murphy at Chameleon Arts Cafe, Nottingham with support from Deadbeat at Dawn, Muscle & Marrow and Carla Bozulich.
Deadbeat at Dawn stimulating beats
Drums and guitar from Portland act Muscle and Marrow gave some great build ups from tranquil to heavy.
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!
Los Angeles alternative rocker Carla Bozulich finished the night and include a song constructed in E-Minor that I’d suggested she use when she asked the audience which note!

King Crimson Birmingham
King Crimson gig live at the Birmingham Symphony Hall. Went with Gerald, we had tickets in a high place so looking down on the gig.
I’ve been a fan for more years than I want to mention, but this is the first time I’ve seen them live. Goosebumps at the beginning and near the end is unusual for me, but those bumps, and the feeling associated, came.
Interesting set. They played some classics extremely well and amongst them were some of my all time favorites. See set list below phot. 21st Century Schizoid Man was brilliant, although three full drum kits seemed a little excessive.
Before they came on a pre-recorded message from Mr Fripp went into detail about not using cameras or phones to record or photograph the gig. As a result I only saw one photo being taken, so a well behaved audience.
