A special Saturday night klinker in memory of Derek Bailey. Almost an entire evening of improvisation, on a range of instruments - conventional and less conventional. Bricks were being tapped when we arrived, accompanied by bassoon and dictaphone  (it was the bricks that were accompanied , not us). This was followed by various combinations of  Drums, keyboards, violin, bassoon.

Builder's Crack were a bit different as they had words written down (a script !). They were also very accessible with their blend of poetry, drama and music; the result being a musical cartoon.

Mad Eel ended the evening with bright velvet snakeskin dresses and a certain chaos which some might call anarchic. Musically they are not entirely listenable, but they do have nice dresses and a sense of theatre; definitely a band with goggles on their heads !

Mad Eel was so good that some of the audience had to be rushed to hospital.
