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!
