The Standing Stones are @towerblock1 & @jem.finer joined on their latest record by @ionazajac & @daraghlvnch
Following the standing of the Hurdy Stone at @neoancients The Standing Stones performed live, screened films and chatted with @matthew___shaw in an attempt to explain what all of this standing stones business means. Did they succeed in figuring it all out? Maybe! What is for sure is that the Hurdy stone and Gurdy stone stand and that Lunatronix is a beautiful thing. Find out more from @l13lightindustrialworkshop
A man seldom found behind a DJ booth these days - making this genuinely rare appearance all the more special - Alan Gubby’s resolute devotion to British electronica and Radiophonic experimentalism has rendered him in almost permanent self-imposed exile, in his perennial pursuit of cutting room floor castoffs and long-lost transmissions. As a producer and a musician Alan cranked out an impressive mid-90s/early-00s discography of everything from dubby acid jazz infused leftfield breaks to atmospheric big beat and trip-hop, under a slew of pseudonyms, through labels such as Leaf and Tru Thoughts as well as his own Nanny Tango and Kabal Agogo imprints. Informed by a fascination with early electronic music spoon fed to him through his favourite TV shows and films, in 2008 he would unearth BBC Radiophonic legend John Baker’s private tape archive and embark on a path that would mark the beginning of a long and fruitful working relationship with Jonny Trunk and lead to the foundation his own Buried Treasure Records. Providing both an outlet for his own personal recorded projects as well has beloved archival film scores and library records, his dedicated output over the past twenty years has come to represent a divining rod of sorts for his long-conceived multi-media paranoia concept project The Delaware Road - encompassing an illustrated novel, a compilation album, as well as two intimate audio/visual festivals held in suitably poignantly paranoid venues - the first at the Kelvedon Hatch Secret Nuclear Bunker in Essex, the second at a Ministry Of Defence training compound on Salisbury Plain.

Broadcaster, journalist, publisher, author, recording artist, DJ and proprietor of Trunk Records, Jonny Trunk has been hero to the unsung and recanonising mislaid cultural icons for so long he has since become one himself. Through his very idiosyncratic prism he has drawn together token doses of music, film, literature and graphic design to create a movement that goes far beyond any trite concept of kitsch. The man behind the first-ever releases of cult classic soundtracks for The Wicker Man, Kes, The Clangers, Dawn Of The Dead and The Tomorrow People, he is also responsible for reviving interest in the likes of Basil Kirchin, Delia Derbyshire and Michael Garrick, as well has being one of the earliest champions of the weird and wonderful world of library music. At a time when library records were the preserve of enlightened beat diggers, tele addicts and film buffs, Jonny was one of the very first to bring the world of production music to a wider public audience - with the first releases on the label mining the Bosworth library archives and then with the publication of the first of two books on the subject, The Music Library. A purveyor of the charmingly obscure, sometimes ludicrous but always wondrous, Jonny’s DJ sets are as promiscuous and thoroughly entertaining as the indispensable body of work he has produced over the past 30 years. As if Jonny’s resume wasn’t impressive enough, he is also the brains behind the annual Groovy Record Fayre, an essential London record fair held at the wonderfully archaic Mildmay Club.

We’re heading to @verdant_taproom in Penryn for an evening of fungal merriment, drinks, chats and community.
The plan is a relaxed social evening with space to meet new people, talk fungi, share ideas and generally enjoy being in a room with other curious folk interested in the more-than-human world.
There may also be a game of fungal bingo during the evening, with a few small prizes involved.

Hal-an-Tow
Tradition has it that early on Flora Day morning, youths go to the neighbouring woods to collect branches of sycamore. On their return, they are joined by other young people, dressed to represent the characters in the Hal-an-Tow
