Scratch Night Posted: 11 Apr 2013 09:34 AM PDT Thursday 16.5.2013 Thursday Scratch Nights Johanna Love and Michael Evans Thursday 16 May / 6.30pm This is the first public showing of recent video work by Dr Johanna Love and Dr Michael Evans who are both senior lecturers in fine art at the University of Northampton. Jo Love has previously worked with photography and digital print while Michael Evans has worked predominately within painting and to a lesser extent with digital photography. Both artists have previously worked only with the still image and this represents their first movement beyond this into the field of time based media. However, the dialogue between earlier works and their current video pieces remains vital. Both artists work with a reduced palette of greys and both explore relative notions of emptiness within painting, print, photography and video. This screening is intended to explore the dialogue between still and moving image which both artists are currently exploring and is intended as a 'work in progress' showing with questions more than welcome after the screening of the work.

Scratch Night Posted: 13 Mar 2013 09:49 AM PDT Thursday 9.5.2013 Thursday Scratch Nights Elliot Dodd and Steffen Levring Saturday 9 May / 6.30pm For the past year Elliot Dodd and Steffen Levring have been collaborating on various projects, constantly drawn toward the physical and theoretical points of disintegration and rupture amidst the architecture of the technologies in use. The tools used become a vehicle for experimentation through which image/sound, sound/image become fused. This performance forms part of Dodd and Levring's series of investigations into the physicalities of video. Using a system of translation, silent images will directly produce their own audio counterpart, resulting in a violent synchronicity of the audio-visual. levring.com infodatafeed.com

Feastoffiddles at The Stables Posted: 11 Apr 2013 05:41 AM PDT 2013 sees the 20th outing of this band of friends which promises a new album launch, a booklet about the band’s history as well as the usual glorious live show. It all started in a folk club as a bit of an idea in 1993 and has developed into a UK folk-rock institution. Six of the country’s best fiddle players front a cracking band of guitars, keyboards, sax and accordion, held together by the grandfather of folk-rock drumming, Dave Mattacks. The show includes solos, original and traditional songs, a few iconic rock references and theme tunes plus mighty ensemble arrangements to stir the soul and get the feet tapping.

Drawing on each player’s repertoire of originals, timeless folk songs and reclaimed standard repertoire, the trio subtly recolour the music with their individual palettes to create exquisite acoustic chamber music. It would be hard to put together a group which offers more heartfelt music; from June’s gripping voice and intense delivery to Iain’s gloriously mellifluous melodies and Huw’s lyrical off-kilter musicality, the trio carries the audience on a journey through tales of love and loss, bloody battles and beguiling originals. Quercus are touring in 2013 to celebrate their first release on ECM Records.
