OscilloScope - Bangor

OscilloScope is monthly event based in Bangor (North Wales) focusing on electronic experimental music.

The Gathering - Carmarthenshire

The Gathering is a floating population of improvisers in various media but mostly music which is spontaneously created in the moment.

Gatherings are unstructured and non-conceptual, about collective interplay. It is open to go anywhere, depending on who is actually present at the time. It is an open-ended, free-form happening.

The Gathering was founded about 25 years ago by Maggie Nicols, dancer and vocalising performer extraordinaire to allow for a creative space to play and explore without limits or judgement. Musicians, vocalists, dancers are all welcome. We also enjoy the presence of visual and spontaneous performance artists. EVERYONE IS WELCOME and admission is free (donations welcome).

Hope you'll join us soon.

Beresford/Hammond

Charlie Beresford: Acoustic guitar/piano Sonia Hammond: Cello

Acoustic improvising duo Charlie Beresford (acoustic guitar/piano) and Sonia Hammond (cello) are both based in the Welsh Marches and they met whilst working with the Radnor Improvisers, an improvising group which they are founding members of. Their first album 'The Science of Snow' was born when the two found themselves at a loose end due to a cancelled studio session and used the opportunity to record some duo improvisations together just to see where it would go.

In 2016 they teamed up with pianist Carolyn Hume to form the Beresford Hammond Hume trio and released the also much lauded album 'The Lightning Bell' through 'The 52nd'.This CD contains performances by the singer Judie Tzuke who joined them on a couple of their laid back recording sessions. So they are now following all this with a new duo recording 'Each Edge of the Field'. This nine track CD, recorded in the same free spirited attitude as the first, sees them 'hone their craft as they carve out an increasingly distinctive niche in the world of improvised music' (Jazz Mann).
