The new year means an opportunity to do exciting things with great people, so I’m looking forward to helping out with this event at one of the best pubs in town;
Friday 16th January, upstairs at the King Billy, Eyre Street, Nottingham. 7:30pm start
S A Malley & Raymond MacDonald
The debut performance of a new duo featuring the innovative guitar playing of Steve Malley (The Unit Ama & The Horse Loom) and renowned saxophonist and composer Raymond MacDonald. Bouncing between freewheeling improvisation, instant composition, dissonance and melody, this will be one for both the head and the heart.
Either/Or
Either/Or is a solo project from Ellis Blake of Weird Fields and Krupps. Neu age old age electronic folk musick for Deep Heads...
Plus Kittiwake DJs. Minimum suggested donation of £5, so it’s nice and affordable when everyone is skint after Christmas.
Hope to see you there!
Another fun year for us. We put some great shows on here in Newcastle. We played some great shows around the country. Still making friends. We remain grateful for the community we cling to. Love and best wishes to you for the year ahead. Thank you. Xx
