Angel: An Evening Without Scott Walker (1943 - 2019) in the Guesthouse as part of Indi Cork

A wonderful evening of poetry, music, song and film took place in the Guesthouse on Thursday evening. Curated by Tony Langlois on behalf of Indi Cork it proved a very special night, With continous projections from Natasha Bourke and Max Le Cain it started with poetry from Robin Parmar who also did a wonderful drone piece This was followed by songs from Tony Langlois and John Byrne. Showing John is not just a great DJ and a fountain of musical knowledge but the guy can really sing as well backed by Tony on guitar and vocals. Harry Moore also sang and debuted his new shruti box to great effect.

My own piece was an artwork for radio  "Walk(er) The Idea Of S(cott)outh".in the style of the great Glenn Gould and played back on transistor radio. Recalling when I first heard Scott Walker as part of the Walker Bro's back in the 60s on a small mono transistor radio.

There was a fantastic and attentive audience making it a full house. The only thing missing was the smell of cooking and the wonderful food usually prepared by Mick and Irene who are away on a residency working on new delights for us to devour next time.
