Utrophia have been running 'Lunch Music' on Saturdays for quite a while now. Check out the programme at their Extra Bones website. Crossfields resident and international superstar Charles Hayward plays tomorrow at 1.30pm.

Charles' last outing at Utrophia was on 11th December 2011, during a weekend of events that formed part of the exhibition Deptford Soil. Drumtrophia featured eight drummers playing together, riffing off each other and weaving rhythm and sound throughout the project space for a mesmerising two hours.

Drummers included (clockwise round the room and top to bottom in the pictures below): Charles Hayward, Arnold Lane, Ashleigh Marsh, Kit Mackintosh, Rik Irvine, David Aylward, Merlin Hayward and Matt Rigsby Smith.

DRUM GARDEN

is a specially constructed performance by 10 or 11 drummers from the south east London underground, a highly motivated and vibrant scene with wildly individual players. We will be playing throughout the garden so that the sound moves across and through the space. Strategies have been devised to keep the playing fresh.

A Night of Drums - Friday 1 Oct at The Birds Nest

Chalk Milk features Crossfield's very own Charles Hayward and daughter Merlin (see previous post on The Nearly Perfect). They're part of the bill in a special live percussion evening A Night of Drums at The Bird's Nest this evening.
"A rare opportunity to experience some of Britain's finest musicians together for the first time: Kwake, Charles Hayward and Oscar Challenger (5-piece samba band) + King Slug (ex-Test Dept)"...FREE ENTRY (and bring your own drums)...

Sounds like a right old racket! Hopefully Frankham Housers won't be kept awake...
