Second time seeing Ms. Quail and her support in two days. Video camera is now working again, but new technical issues arise.
Line-up:
MRS FRIGHTHOUSE: Having just seen this harrowing duo in Glasgow yesterday, I am more than happy to see them again tonight, and to have another opportunity to make a video. Uncompromising and defiant, songs of survival and reclaiming body autonomy. Not, perhaps, 'entertaining' as such, but essential listening. The pics are dark and gritty and entirely appropriate.
JO QUAIL: And now for something completely different. Electric cello, loops and delays and JO QUAIL's friendly informative chat between pieces. Top class modern classical in a Georgian townhouse ballroom. We get a mix of new material from the 'Notan' album, some old pieces, a lovely little thing based on a lullaby for her daughter, and some raw acoustic stuff from a stool in the middle of the floor.
Unfortunately, sometime between the end of Mrs Frighthouse's set and the start of Ms Quail's, my microphone decides to end itself, so I cannot get a recording. However, I still have an audio recording from the night before in Glasgow, so I can use that and tonight's pics to create some kind of chimaera. If you read the post from Day 3 of the CORE Festival, you might have seen it already.
