One to watch - well a few actually...
A few things are coming up in March and April which would be well worth checking out...
First up is the Optronica a hybrid music and film festival which takes place on the 14-18th March. I am probably going to be going to the Optronica Club AV at the ICA on Saturday the 17th March. Four different acts are playing each with their own unique blend of the audio and the visual. I will also be popping along to the Optronic lounge which will be hosting some really cool interactive visual/sound installations and serving some fine beer. If you fancy joining me leave a comment or email gareth at moot dot uk dot net
Next up is the Human Rights Watch International Film Festival which takes place on the 21-30th March. Two that I might watch include the closing night film 'Days of Glory' which was Oscar nominated and explores the story of four 'indigénes' who enlist in the French army to take back the fatherland from the Nazis - thats at 7pm at the Ritzy in Brixton on the 29th March. Or 'The Lives of Others' which was also Oscar nominated and has won 7 German awards. It offers a blistering indictment of the former East German regime - its on in Clapham on the 23rd March at 7pm. Again if interested leave a comment or email me.
Finally Foy Vance is playing a gig at the Bedford Pub in Balham. Foy is an amazingly talented singer/songwriter who is destined for great things. I am not kidding when I say I think he has a better voice than anyone I have every heard. This is free and is not one to miss. Again let me know if you want to come as I will be booking a table soon - the pub serves good grub as well :-)
