Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.
Location: Around and about the old public library in Easterhouse; disinvested in and left to rot by the council but which was shamelessly, hastily and superficially cleaned by them in expectation of our event.
