Charles Hayward
+ Patrick Kelleher
The Joinery
Friday 25th October
Doors 7.30pm
Tickets €11 http://www.eventbrite.com/org/4613096203?s=18062139
Unique, visceral, uncompromising, inspirational are all words that music press releases have traditionally strangled the life out of and rendered them all but meaningless - but anyone who has attended a solo performance by the legendary Charles Hayward will have born witness to a magical reverse-Kervorkian revival of these terms as I can say without reservation that you will have never seen anything quite like this. One man, a drum kit, vocals & tape loops merge to create a snarling, poly-rhythmic, all-consuming experience that will leave you both hypnotised & speechless. Tickets are just 11 euro and support comes in the form of the very wonderful Patrick Kelleher.
Drummer, songwriter, vocalist, Charles’ first recording was Quiet Sun with Phil Manzanera and he went on to be prime instigator of This Heat and Camberwell Now. Since the late 80’s he has worked primarily as a solo performer, playing throughout the world and releasing a series of discs, each proposing a possible future. He has also initiated group, site specific and installation projects, deliberately using contrary methodologies: song and improvisation, tonality and noise. Collaborations include Massacre (with Fred Frith and Bill Laswell), The Raincoats, COIL and About Group (with Alexis Taylor of Hot Chip).
