Lots of nice gigs coming up in May, so starting my plugging here...



First, as per the image (courtesy of the fantastic guitarist David Stent - check out a fascinating website he runs here), my ensemble has a sequence of dates, followed by a trip to the studio.



Orphy Robinson, steel pan; Otto Fischer, guitar; AH, piano; Hannah Marshall, cello; Dominic Lash, bass; Javier Carmona, drums, percussion.



The Cambridge date is a double bill with the Assembly Point Four, which features fantastic Cambridge-based players Michael Chilcott and Josh Ison.



Barkingside rides again on May 27th at the Oxford Univeristy Music Faculty - the burning question here, how will we come down from the insanity (and fun!) of this week's debut of Electric Barkingside, with Mr Ward on guitar, Dominic Lash on electric showing his metal credentials, and myself making silly noises on keyboards.



On May 29th, I'm incredibly excited to have the first chance to play with both Tony Marsh and Evan Parker - this is again at the Vortex. 'Thrash bass' Lash on upright. You can believe that when I'm not gigging this month, I will be practising like crazy for that one...



More as and when...
