A Fat White Family play at Lewisham’s Fox & Firkin pub, which boasts a great little stage with good sound and proper lighting for once. Sadly though, the venue was half empty, the boys’ efforts went under-appreciated. A good rehearsal for greater times…..maybe tonight at 93ft East.

Howlin Filth and the Rent Boys play the infamous ‘Bar Tab Gig’ @ the Queen’s Head, Brixton.
Brilliant in its shambolicness, Alabama 3 front-man Larry Love pays his debt to society by trying to harness the maverick talents of Fat White Family nucleus, Saul, Lias and Nathan, in various states of dress-code at the Queen’s Head, Brixton

London Contemporary Orchestra and SDNA @ Ron Arad’s Curtain Call
I was fortunate enough recently to have been asked to take some photos of a recent performance by the London Contemporary Orchestra at the Roundhouse as part of the Installation piece Ron Arad’s curtain call. by my friends Valentina Floris and Ben Foot of SDNA
The orchestra played in an amphitheatre of silicon rods arranged like an endless curtain, onto whose surface a seamless and constantly shifting series of visuals played out on and through an epic 360° diaphanous canvas.
Dreamlike and at times unsettling images of quivering insects – a trademark of SDNA, the creative brains behind the content of the projections – exposed and contained by the spotlight’s disc, random interspecies juxtaposition, sometimes reaching nightmarish proportions. Death’s Head Moths, giant Mantids and Lacewings, and the ever-recurring trembling urgency of the moths. At other times geometric slabs and filaments of light suggest a living bar code, or piano keys. Serene oceans of blue with Anemone tentacles soothe and entrance. Huge images of Big Sister are half-glimpsed through the slow-motion shutter of an out of sync zoetrope. A rhythmic procession of slowly revolving dancers drift down like dandelion seeds. The visuals build to an Orwelian climax of a kind of giant clock machine, whose huge cogs crunch inexorably round, dwarfing the crisp silhouettes of the audience, who are by now exploring outside the curtain and are propped up against the walls or the rings of pillars that define the space. Here and there they notice a choral group on the balcony or a stringed quartet or two, nestling between more pillars. All in all a Smörgåsbord of visual delights, with a damn fine orchestra thrown in.
Anyway, the point of all this is that I was asked to photograph it, which I did. It was a pleasure as it looked so good, and complemented the topography of the space so well, offering plenty of scope for dynamic images.
Here are some of the pictures on SNDA’s wall.

A couple of pics from Saturday’s Aquarius Festival, where I suspect I got the food poisoning I’m suffering from now. May post some more when I feel better!
