alucidnation, Eva Abraham & AGK Live at Komedia, Brighton
12th June 2005.

An evening showcasing bands signed to Big Chill Recordings in Brighton. A perfect venue and an attentive audience ensured that this was going to be a winner - seated guests were treated to great sets from me, Eva and AGK throughout the evening.

Eva played first; a stunning set featuring tracks from her debut album 'Shadow Gazing' showcasing her lovely voice - it always sounds better live as opposed to the record. Guy Morley (Yam Yam) span some tunes while I set up my gear. I played a set of tunes that mainly consisted of vocal-heavy numbers. The audience seemed to approve - I've had some really positive responses from various folk who attended.

After I'd finished, AGK graced the stage and played a winning set of tracks from their soon-to-be-released LP 'The Liking of Things' - they have real stage presence I think...

After that, it was left to Murray to wind the evening up with a typically eclectic set of new and old records - he played a great track by Francois Kevorkian featuring U-Roy!

It was great to catch up with a a few old Brighton buddies too - a big thanks to Eugenie Arrowsmith for making this gig happen.

Here's a few pics anyway...
