JO QUAIL, VOODOO ROOMS, EDINBURGH, SEPTEMBER 17 2025

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.

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.
