Previewer's Picks
Living Room
Living Room at London Brunel Museum
Date: Friday 18 May Venue: Brunel Museum (Grand Entrance Hall), Rotherhithe, London This event promises lots of things I love: an eerie and atmospheric space, historical resonances, refreshing instrumentation and musicians happy to explore any genre. It looks like their last event here sold out, so book quickly.This is a very fitting event for the Europe-wide Museums at Night initiative. Read More>>
Dustin O'Halloran
Hauschka + Dustin O'Halloran + Jóhann Jóhannsson
Date: Monday 21 May Venue: RNCM Theatre, Manchester RNCM have a really rich programme this month – this one’s a lush night of music of recent releases from the Fat Cat Records Transcendalists imprint. All the acts have quite a filmic quality, including Jóhannsson’s powerful soundtrack to Bill Morrison’s documentary on the demise of the mining communities of Northeast England. Read More>>
Trio Medieval
Trio Medieval + Arve Henricksen
Date: Tuesday 22 May Venue: Victoria Baths, Manchester On a trip to the pioneering Punkt Festival in Norway I saw this collaboration for the first time and was bowled over by its haunting beauty. In the evocative and resonant setting of the Victoria Baths I imagine this will be a very memorable event. Read More>>
Hotel Pro Forma - War Sum Up
Date: Friday 25 May Venue: Brighton Dome, Concert Hall, Brighton Hotel Pro Forma always seems to create work that’s visually stunning. Part of Brighton Festival, this is a brave and experimental mash-up of very different cultures; manga and Japanese noh meets the formidable forces of the Latvian Radio Choir, a Latvian composer and the outré music of The Irrepressibles. Curiosity makes this a must see for me. Read More>>
Speed Up! at Norwich and Norfolk Festival
Dates: until Saturday 26 May Venue: various venues, Norwich The festival has an interesting and eclectic seam of new music this year, including a new strand of fast and loud alternative and underground bands including the Neutrinos (23 May), Zun Zun Egui (25 May) and lots more to discover. There's also an installation, at Fusion Gallery, drawing together videos and sounds from some of the bands playing. Read More>>
