Greetings saw-fans, Sawchestra have been terribly busy the last couple of months, what with the Folly for a flyover gig, and a gig onboard a canal boat at the Shoreditch festival. Sadly I've been unwell and unable to play at these last 2 events, but both went terribly well. Here's some info from guest saw player, Spacedog's Sarah Angliss: Adrift with the Sawchestra Here's some photos from Folly for a Flyover: Now I'm back on the mend here's a rather silly and extremely candid video uploaded by my best friend Esther, singer of Quiet Choir. This rather anarchic jam between myself, Esther and cult performance poet, Salena Godden was recorded the night I turned 28, surviving the rock and roll death age of 27. Myself and Esther were huge fans of Salena in our late teens, and so, when she turned up to perform at Hammer and Tongue in Brighton the day before my birthday, we went along with our mutual friend Fox, and partied late into the night with various poets, musicians and rappers. The night culminated in a noise session at Fox and I's place, recorded below. And yes, we are quite drunk. The following night, of course, I played a bit of saw for Gentlemen & Assassins: Upcoming Sawchestra gigs include Playgroup festival- on the Saturday evening, we'll be bringing our 'Adventures of Prince Achmed' live soundtrack as well as unusual instrument workshops during the day.
Also with us will be Paul Harrisons X Piano- something you have to see/hear! -------- Sneaky peaky news of future saw adventures- it's looking more and more likely I'll be a small part of punk cabaret icon, Amanda Palmers' show in September, for her Brighton show. Stripey stockings at the ready!

Do go have a look! As a collective, we've got lots of exciting projects coming up- our next show is looking to be on the 25th June in London, as well as a London Halloween show on the 30th. Do keep checking back for updates! Our recent performance of 'Der Golem' at the London Sci-Fi festival was a rousing success, and we should be doing it again sometime later in the year. In solo-saw news, in addition to adding a little musical strangeness here and there on board the Hendricks Horseless Carriage in Jubilee Square, Brighton as part of this years Fringe Festival, I've also been asked to perform a little in between courses for Bompas & Parr's one-of-a-kind carriage meals. Roll on the festival season. Hopefully there will be many more opportunities for saw-related shenanigans. |
