Here are a few pictures from the second weekend of our If Wet 2014 Tour. Wonderful presentations by wonderful artists [thank you!], to an enthusiastic and engaged audience…

It was a wonderful experience and great to resolve the tour in our home of Callow End Village Hall, for the first of our 2014 regular monthly events. Now back on the last Sunday of the month in our hall [except August, which will take place as part of Worcester Music Festival]! Here is a preview of our next event, featuring the wonderful Lee Patterson. JOIN US.

If Wet 2014 Tour #4 at Callow End Village Hall – Preview

The If Wet 2014 Tour is looming large! We set off around the country on the 21st of June, for events on consecutive weekends…

The fourth and last event in the tour is at our home venue of Callow End Village Hall, Worcestershire, 29th June, 2-4pm – TICKETS. JOIN US.

It seems fitting that we will kick off our second season of If Wet in our hall with a piece we demonstrated at the first ever If Wet. We will be demonstrating the latest work on our Giant Feedback Organ. Originally shown at If Wet #1 and then commissioned by the Southbank Centre, we have continued to develop the sounds this beast can produce and we will share these with you…

We then give the rest of the afternoon over to the wonderful Paddy Steer. Paddy will talk about his work and perform a few pieces to demonstrate. We could write more about Paddy but sometimes a picture and a video can sum stuff up better than we can with words:

Paddy Steer

OK, so maybe we do need to include this review of his album The Fortified Herd on his Bandcamp page, “Wonderfully bizzaro funky stuff from Sun Ra’s switchboard operator”.

As ever, this will be accompanied by the local ale, home-made grub and cake. JOIN US.
