Four Things and More #2 this Friday

| cdgsham

fourthingsandmore_02

A rare occasion this Friday night – I will pick up a guitar and perform in public with it. I’ve been pretty much dared into doing this by Carmen Chan, but the joke is on her as she has to perform with me. Just goes to show; ask/dare me to do anything in a performance and I’ll probably consider it.

It’s been an interesting couple of weeks engaging consistently with guitar again in preparation for this. I recorded and performed on electric guitar for many years before giving it away for other things. This time, I’m playing acoustic guitar. Although the mechanics of the instrument are very familiar, my relative inexperience with the acoustic version means I’m still approaching it as a new instrument/sonic object in many ways.

We’ll be providing accompaniment to a performance by Juana Beltran. Also featuring sets by Derek McCormack, Michael McNab, and Myfanwy Hunter/Julian Espana Keller…and more.

This Tuesday night I’m reprising a dual turntable duo with Paul Wain AKA DJ 2 of Antediluvian Rockinghorse at Make It Up Club. Also performing at Octave Pussy (Nat Grant & Miranda Hill) and The Deep Goss. Me and Paul will most likely be first up, so don’t be late.

Then I head over the ditch for my first New Zealand gig – a solo set where I’ll be playing my ‘Setting for The Iliad‘. Also performing is Flesh Robot.
