Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.

Bruno’s liberated improvisational approach stretches beyond the lyrical, tough as nails rhythmic bursts and expressive, swinging attack of his drumming.
Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.
Rhodri Davies plays two deconstructed harps. Lee Patterson examines the sonic properties of burning nuts.
