The Annual Club Integral Resonance FM Benefit
Art Terry is a conceptual Black artist from Los Angeles. His primary practice is as a composer/musician. His songs explore Black politics, sexuality and religion, through a lyrical fusion [gumbo] of African American folklore and hauntological funk. A singer and pianist, Art underpins deeply personal lyrics with dense melodic textures to create conceptual Black music. Brought up in the gospel tradition, Art evokes the sacred figure of the robed and commanding preacher alongside the profane swagger and bravado of the street-hustling savant in his live performances. Whether playing solo or with his ensemble of talented musicians, The Black Bohemians, Art’s live performances are theatrical and compelling. Art collaborates with Stew, who created the musical Passing Strange, exploring his and Art’s youthful experiences on the seamy streets of downtown Los Angeles and in Europe, living in squats and art collectives and surviving on a diet of shoplifted food, hashish and freaky music. Passing Strange was made into a film by Spike Lee. Art has been a keyboardist with Stew & the Negro Problem at the Kennedy Centre in Washington DC, Redcat in Los Angeles, the Harlem Stage and many other venues. The New York Times described Art’s playing as ‘terrific’.
An evening dedicated to fundraising for the London-based experimental music radio station Resonance FM. With performance by Art Terry, Atsuko Kamura, Digital Roses and Eugene Coyne.

are duo Sam Owen and Max Simpson, vocalist/multi-instrumentalists from the band Pram (Domino Records). Their music occupies the darker, more haunted, fragile end of Pram's spectrum with music boxes, violin, flute, glockenspiel, toy accordion and ethereal vocals. It makes nods to Hammer Horror, public information films, 1970s children's television and Eastern European surrealist cinema. Their live performance marries unsettling monochrome projections with loop pedals, acoustic experimentation, sampled sounds and the vintage electronics of Omnichord, car boot Casios and air-synth. They will be bringing some new material as well as playing tracks from their mini LP Another Place (Ondes Positive Recordings). https://www.facebook.com/mothsofthemoon https://youtu.be/XYc1VpiAt4o

Moths of the Moon
Judy Brush AKA Anna Palmer from Dorcha plays tunes of unforgiving alt-folk. Psychedelic, hip shaking rock and roll. Judy Brush played opening shows for Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, on their UK tour. With the odd punk disco thrown in. A desperado clinging on to the realest of real with tape cassette in hand. Take your stone cold turkey twizzlers to the floor baby and loosen them up a little. Her debut single, Hot Tub, is the first offering of dirge-pop birthed from deep within the loins of Judy Brush. “Once the electronic drums and the overlaying of noise and heavy overdubs come in, you realise you have been unsuspectedly sucked into one of THE most powerful and all-encompassing 2.32 minutes I’ve experienced for a long time.” Loan Humphyreys, Joyzine, April, 2023 WEBSITE https://annapalmermusic.wixsite.com/mysite/judy- brush BANDCAMP https://judybrush.bandcamp.com/track/hot-tub VIDEOS https://youtu.be/E8oStg6mpWQ

"Ray Vorg is the regenerated alter ego of Nightingales guitarist James Smith. Expect him to be spinning unearthed out there psych and strange discs from around the world. As well as DJ duties, Ray performs as a one man band using organ drones, tape echo and a wheezing ancient drum machine as a base for improvised guitar wig outs." https://twitter.com/jmsmith1970?lang=en-GB
Charles Hayward     Legendary drummer Charles Hayward has worked across a huge range of musical projects from Quiet Sun, This Heat, and Camberwell Now, and Massacre with Bill Laswell & Fred Frith, through Albert Newton with Harry Beckett, John Edwards and Pat Thomas, to Monkey Puzzle Trio, and Hot Chip, to mention but a few.

The Happy Couple     The Happy Couple – Judith Goodman and David Ross – live adjacent to two nature reserves within a meander of the river Yare in the Norfolk Broads. They spend their time imbibing the sights, sounds and atmospheres of these environs, playing together out on the misty marshes and secluded backwaters. This peaceful and profound music is a reflection of their intimate relationship to the area and each other. They describe the clear still starry night skies reflected in the watery landscape, the murmurations of birds and the ever changing qualities of light across the wetlands, but also the micro-worlds of insects, plants, fungi and lichen. Judith performs on a number of unusual string instruments, lap steel, tenor guitar, cittern and the very rare Stoessel Laute, a unique lute/zither hybrid made in Germany in the 30’s up until the factory was bombed. David is a virtuoso of the Jews harp and mouthbow which he combines with subtle live electronics.
