KALANDRA, CAVES, EDINBURGH, MAY 26 2025

My 3 gig weekend just turned into a 4 gig weekend. Last minute call-up for ethereal Norwegians in one of the nicest venues anywhere.

Line-up:

MAUD THE MOTH: Solo singer/pianist doing a dark kind of experimental, looped and layered neo-classical thing, and doing it very well indeed. Sadly, no pics of MAUD THE MOTH, because it was quite dark and I was very far away from the stage. Got a video, though, of a song from her recent new album, 'The Distaff'

Many thanks to Amaya for allowing me to be here tonight.

KALANDRA: Norwegians, sitting somewhere between 'rock' and 'pop' but always heavily folk-influenced, and really quite lovely. Kudos to the substitute drummer who stepped in at short notice, and did a fine job.

MAUD THE MOTH, PIANODROME, EDINBURGH, FEBRUARY 24 2024

Amaya López-Carromero, AKA MAUD THE MOTH, previews some songs from her forthcoming new album in a very cold auditorium built inside a shed in Edinburgh.

Pianodrome, down near the West Harbour in Newhaven is a community run DIY gig space run which hosts frequent free shows. All of the seating shown in the picture above is built entirely out of salvaged old pianos. If you have an unwanted old piano, they'll take it. If you want to adopt a piano, they'll sort you out.

Today's gig features Edinburgh-based Spanish singer/pianist MAUD THE MOTH, who you might recognise as the singer of the magnificent, but hard to describe, H E A T H Y L I V I N G. Adding to the international feel, we get a guest appearance from French violinist FAY GUIFFO on the new song 'EXUVIAE' which you can see in the attached video.
