INTERZONE EVICTION PARTY 33 commercial road whitechapel London A TRULY INSPIRING EVENING
This was a super-cool party, and a fantastic way to end an era. Lots of lights and people dancing, and the crazy suprise Japanese Trumans Waters style noise band Tyrannasaurus Jerk ripped it up.

HANBURY BALLROOM BRIGHTON 8PM with the brilliant (and they'll tell you that) THEY CAME FROM THE STARS, i SAW THEM (they reached out to me from the middle distance)
Because between me and TCFTSIST a zillion wires were strewn everywhere around the stage, I spent the whole of 'wild animals' dressed as a Panda with pink welly gloves searching for my theremin lead.

INTERZONE 111 yep, Interzone one hundred and eleven. an ackwardly brilliant show.
Our soundcheck slowly evolved into a performance, and Sam played on the floor strumming her guitar through a Phaser whispering in French. I like that sort of thing.Sub 55.

kirk beeped, PDA glitched, hienti mantrad, ASCOLTARE made sound cathedrals, UM humoured sharply, MFU jazzed. No Oxygen, ghastly sound.

INTERZONE III Yet another Fantastic party! What would I do without Soraya and Sam? I dunno.
First time singing and I was scared, but it worked. Nice night out with my Cambridge bros UM/Ascoltare. Blinding solo MFU set, and good set with Sam but her pneumonia called her short, poor girl.

CAFE AFRIKA sturton street Cambridge A really pleasant show, nice jazz bar atmosphere. Really lovely and charmingly inept soundcrew.
All the sound from my instruments dissapeared 3 songs from the end ( solar flare disturbance I can only guess ) so I had to play the feedback off the desk. I dig calamity sometimes!

INTERZONE BOXING RING WAREHOUSE PARTY - Sam and Sorayah are the queens of the universe for putting on the best party ever, and they really should do more. Fantastic atmosphere, nice people
I'll never forget this show, played in a boxing ring, took off mycrash helmut to realize the PA was spitting psychedelic sparks everywhere. Played with LUCIANO SAXOPHONO and SAM AMANT..

The SANDPIPER SESSIONS KINGS COLLEGE CAMBRIDGE - second show in a week in a posh listed building. Lots of poets showed up and I felt a bit like a 'beat' musician of the Kerouac variety, I dream
Great party - cool PA situation - French dudes with big shades - UM rocked the basement in a Fireman's outfit like he came to put out the burning set of 'Grease'.

KETTLES YARD ART GALLERY CAMBRIDGE LEAPS performance
Finally fulfilled my dream of playing live for my 6 year old daughter - did a song about stars and worms and enjoyed playing in a gallery environment.
21 Feb 04
MAGAZINE CLUB Fortress Studio - For the most part this was a terrible show show, just way too many problems, and I couldnt get off the ground
My Theremin lead was accidently cut by stagehands, a Saudi Arabian fella said it was the best show he'd seen in '7 years', some dude rapped lazily about basketball simultaneously to my toy-shop beats

THE PORTLAND ARMS, CAMBRIDGE with RUBY NICHOLLS
Halfwaythrough my set the left engine caught fire and I had to resort to emergency back-up systems to bring the shaking jet crashing down on to the tarmac with a noisy thump. cool.

the EYE in STOKE NEWINGTON LONDON (used to live there, dontcha know)
Fell in love with a small tree someone had placed in that no-man's land semi-circle people make in front of the stage. Effects case crashed to the floor during climax of set.

BAD TIMING CAMBRIDGE PORTLAND ARMS
Strange reserved atmosphere. Did a sort of theme about a rejected musical android which I enjoyed doing but Pete's right, it was a bit on the clever side.
10 Jan 04
NOTTINGHILL ARTS CENTRE with UM
Um rocked in crystal clarity, heard things I never heard before. I slammed my head on the hanging PA 4 times; awaiting stroke. Jammed with French ROck Chick on synth for encore.
