horsemouth paved with good intentions

friday night horsemouth went out to see v4v play - his friend nick doyne-ditmas plays in it (as does the drummer charles hayward). he met myk there. he’s just remembered there was an admission fee so that’s good it means he didn’t spend quite as much on beer as it first appeared (but, of course, he’s not any richer for this remembering).


horsemouth is failing to find the names of the other bands who played (ok no he’s found them now) - he missed the first (solitary) guitarist (apparently playing with the bass player also), then there was Sons of Viljems guitar/effects/ (double) bass who were enjoyable (in an angular way), then a singer technology and violin duo Ama//Mizua (their faith placed in pop music) - most enjoyable, then V4V. 



charles hayward obviously enjoys playing there was a huge grin on his face throughout the proceedings as he accelerated, decelerated, and complicated the beats - and this is what led the music. there were fine moments with nick’s cornet into effects set up matching the technobabble vocalese coming fro the DJ (DJ BPM) and the steve hillage as improv guitar (vern edwards).

given charles hayward's gleeful refusal to let it settle for very long horsemouth was totally impressed that none of the musicians fell off at any point. and then after an encore they were gone- horsemouth was soon dancing again, and drinking more, and chatting to the youth, er. and drinking more and the band went home and myk went home and...., well how do you think he reached his current state, eventually horsemouth went home too.
