It was a completely awesome place, and I saw Biscuit Head and the Biscuit Badgers there!

Music is a huge part of my life so it’s almost certain that this category will have a lot of stuff in it.
The Portico Quartet Live
This was the most inspiring performance of WOMAD this year. The Portico Quartet were amazing, their ability to improvise and produce intricate cross rhythms was absolutely brilliant.
It was great to see them and it made me rethink what I’m doing musically.
A QR code on a frame drum?
I went along to a workshop at WOMAD this year and I had to get a shot of this frame drum with a QR code on it. What a great idea!
Laurie Anderson “Dirtday” at the RHF
My ticket for Laurie Anderson’s amazing show on Friday. It was everything that I’ve come to expect from a Laurie Anderson show. Amusing, emotional, political and personal, it was a great performance on every level. I’m so glad I went along.
I wish she’d release another album. I know it hasn’t been long since her last, but the material from her last few shows is so good I’d like to hear it again.
In any case, it was a superb show and I’m glad I made the effort to get along to it.
PunchDrunk track: Don’t waste this day
Another track from my long awaited collection. I need to make some progress with this lot soon.
Some pictures from last night’s Claudia Brücken gig at Bush Hall
It was just an incredible gig.
Still thinking about integrating Romo into music making
I’m not sure how, but I think it needs to be done!
Half Moon picks
Nice little souvenirs from the Half Moon.
What a lovely figure …
I’ve been really liking the latest version of Figure from Propellerheads. It’s well worth a look at.
The Half Moon in Putney
I hadn’t been to this pub / venue in a long time, and it was really nice to be back. It’s a great little place. I went with a bunch of friends to see the band ‘Mad Dog McRea”, who were good fun to watch really. I think I’d almost certainly go back if there was someone good on there.
