More from the Roxy

An evening of audio visual performances in the surroundings of Ulverston's immaculately preserved art deco cinema.



Andrew Deakin opened the proceedings screening John Cage's film 'One11' alongside a meditative electro-acoustic composition. Aurelie were up second with an outing for their piece 'Silence is Twice as Fast Backwards' in which a series of film subtitles are stripped of their images, providing the starting point for 5 group improvisations. Third was a song-based laptop and guitar set from Mondo Bongo (alias actor and musician Damian Rose) accompanying his own Barrow AFC-inspired visuals. The event culminated in a visceral performance by Good Noise Bad Noise that took Italian horror classic 'Suspiria' as the raw material for a series of intense audio-visual improvisations.



Dave Dhonau and Endgame's Jim Tetlow brave the crowd of pensioners for a quiet moment with Ulverston's finest ... followed by post gig ramblings in search of impressive lichen.
