thursday 25th may
Another great MFG session this one a soundscape that delved into trance folk and primitive state of being John Brown Aled Rees and Robert Mullender arrived as the EIDETIC BAND they used a whole battery of effects, objects, machines, instruments. They were joined by JAMES DUNN who played a Vicon tinnitus analyser through a casio SK1 sampler and then Howard joined in on melodica for an ace finish.

thursday 4th may AN-ARKHOS and NANCY CUNLIFFE...
Moody session in the best possible sense. Nancy Cunliffe started proceedings with three tracks played on harp and kim, esoteric folk played with a northern, indeed, wigan sensibility this was followed by An Arkos a quartet of guitar drims cello and trumpet who layed down forty five minutes of sound which raged from abstract noise right the way to full blooded raw throated song. Nancy has an album out on the TIMBRELAND label from manchester and An-Arkhos can be found at
thursday 27 april MATT STOKES
Northern Soul transcripted for pipe organ. A very emotional OPEN THE DOOR TO YOUR HEART and then a very stirring rendition of DEAN PARRISH'S I'M ON MY WAY. We left church feeling most sanctified and what's more we were clutching the base materials! Off to the station via a Morrocan Restaraunt, Tajine, wine, and Arabian Techno. One quick bottle later we were behind the mixing desk, trading the transcripted versions with the originals. threw some LADY VIOLENT BONHAM-CARTER into the mix...
easy, easy, easy by NTBTA time we were cruising into the zone of 2012.
