On the train to Margate. Nominally to see an old pal but also to see Goblin Band this evening. Never visited before and have an afternoon to myself - anybody got any nerd-shit recommendations?

Yet to do a deep drive into the precise instrumentation they are using this time (looking forward to seeing what they have on stage at Rich Mix next month), but the buzzing strung bass instrument on this one just breaks my heart

At least as good as their last one (one of my absolute favs from 2022). Fewer bonkers hurdy gurdy extended techniques this time around, but really wonderful cross-rhythms throughout create a feeling of constant shifting, shuffling motion

The plane trees of Berkeley Square are some of the most beautiful I have seen. One of the few unambiguously good things about Mayfair
