Salford Concert Series at Islington Mill

Fancy a night out with a diference, then why not get down to Islington Mill this Wednesday and check out Havard Volden and Toshimaru Nakamura.
Musicians with a difference.

Admission £5 8pm - 12pm

Håvard Volden : a player of the 'Table Top Guitar', an instrument with a long history, this guy is one of the new generation along with the likes of Thomas Korber that has been handed the Baton by Jim O'Rourke ( in his youth ) who in turn was handed it by Mr Keith Rowe ( who's history is as long & radical as his personal music taste is as bewilderingly Reactionary! ).

Toshimaru Nakamura : a player of 'No-Input Mixing Desk' , again this 'instrument' has a history, going back thru David Tudor, David Berman, David Myers, lotta Davids there strangely so lets add an Eliane Radigue in ( early stuff before the modular synth got her ), but Nakamura has made this type of music making by riding the treacherous waves of feedback his own.

PLUS: in a slight avant-face on our usual 'Promote! NOT Self-Promote!' mantra there will also be a couple of short sets with duo or trio combinations of Havard & Toshi with some of us, the SCS personel ie: Ben Gwilliam, Lee Patterson & Matt Wand.. They're English. All very capable players in this context.
