alucidnation at The Daylight Festival
The Union Chapel, Islington, London
26th June 2007.

I was invited by old friend Anne Garner who was curating this series of daytime concerts at the Union Chapel to perform this special one-off gig

It was almost six years since I'd last performed at this beautiful place, the last time being alongside Tom Middleton's AMBA, when I played a very ambient gig in front of around 600 people. VERY nervewracking!

This time though, I played to around 1/100th that number - about 6 people! No joke, that figure included me and the soundman!!

Still, I played a lovely set, and the feedback from the four others that attended was great. That's really all that matters; that you're able to touch just one person with what you're doing on stage.

I sang some recent compositions, but the majority of my set was all about atmospheres - the ambient space of this huge, cavernous chapel lends itself perfectly to ambient music.

There's more information here, and I think you can also download a PDF document detailing the event if it's still available online...
