Tory bashing is too easy in a world entering a period of unparalleled change, where those with the least pay the most. To think through truly fundamental global change requires poetic imagination.

SCIENCE LOVE AND REVOLUTION

Time Out ***** The Scotsman****

Multi-award winning poet, David Lee Morgan’s Science, Love and Revolution, with lyrics spit over music tracks by Michael Harding (Animat, 1,000 Mexicans), takes the audience on a rapid, explosive journey exploring the deep structure of society from its very beginning to the beating heart of modern humanity. Science + Love = Revolution David is a multi-slam winning poet (including London, UK and BBC slam championships) who has featured at poetry festivals and events across the UK, Ireland and the USA, including StAnza (St. Andrews, Scotland), Lingo (Dublin, Ireland), the Seattle Folk Arts Festival, and the Isle of Wight Festival, where he opened for Fleetwood Mac (sadly, not on the same stage).

EXPLODING DIAGRAM

The Guardian "a new beginning" **** BBC Music "the avant-garde of British jazz and improv"

Life is an exploding diagram and Charles Hayward will conjure a cauldron mix of percussion, electronics and voice to slow motion a fleeting instant, to stretch armstrong moments across the time microscope, to gear milliseconds to the human register, to acclaim the things beyond the sensory range; smoke and mirrors.

Charles Hayward is a musician and songwriter, known for his work with the groundbreaking This Heat and Camberwell, Now, for a series of collaborative projects across the globe, a string of solo and group recordings, cd and vinyl, each a unique and disruptive investigation of the possibilities of sound. There is no centre. His cutting-edge experimental shows are drawing large appreciative audiences across the world, seeking alternative ways of listening. Charles will be playing with This Is Not This Heat at the Barbican in June.
