I was fortunate enough to be asked to perform at this years Concrete & Glass festival at Catch in London. The evening was hosted by The Stool Pigeon magazine who interviewed me back in December 2007. It was good fun, I also squeezed in a performance of a new track called “IED” which I really wanted to test on a large PA and it went down well. Imogen Heap and artist Justine Pearsall came by to check out the performance, after which we nipped of to fantastic Vietnamese restaurant for late dinner and chatted loads about the projects we are all working, which was lovely.
Sadly I only had thirty minutes with them, so I was only able to have a starter as I had to catch not “The First Train home” but the last train home. I will be back in London next week to perform at “Avoiding The Void Since 1984″ at “The Others Gallery” see you there.
