Drummer, singer, conceptualist and composer CHARLES HAYWARD has a long and illustrious career spanning progressive rock, industrial, heavy fusion, minimalism, and the current British experimental and Avant Garde scenes.
For more than 30 years he’s played and recorded solo and with bands like THIS HEAT, CAMBERWELL NOW and the later incarnation of MASSACRE with Bill Laswell and Fred Frith, among countless others.
Committed to song ‘but the shapes have to change’, his current one-man show is an intoxicating mix of percussive attack, swirling electronics and lyrical fragment collage.
Support from…
THE ONE ENSEMBLE: a curious and strident brew of Eastern European folk, chamber music, a pinch of Robert Wyatt and some kind of earthy psychedelic primitivism.
CAPILLARY ACTION: an American all-acoustic avant-pop quintet, once described in The Wire as “Prokofiev re-arranging the Red Krayola.”
RM HUBBERT: ex-El Hombre Trajeado guitarist doing an instrumental acoustic sketch based around flamenco / samba rhythms and structures.
