This will be starting with a bang at 2pm sharp - Bennink/Brotzmann Duo!!!
Yes, Bennink/Brotzmann will slam it!
I'm still excited. EPIC.
Serious 'gig of the year' contender right here.
not sure i should say this, but we were angling to have a collaboration between Bum Creek and Mulatu Astatke. now, that would've been gig of the century! unfortunately didn't work out in the end.
I believe that the Kim Salmon/Dave Brown duo will be incorporating Kim's recent experiments with dual tape machines.
Just booked a ticket. This will blow minds.
