well, counting backwards was an amazing. everyone involved was brillient and i think i did quite well,for my first live performance. i think i need to to focuss lett on lexical works next time. and certainly i need to be slightly more compact in my sounding and not get nervous half way through (or at all).

Yeah, I thought you did really well, and it wasn't at all obvious that it was your first performance. You did really well in the improvisation with Stuart too. Thanks a lot for coming to Manchester and helping us launch. I hope you try and do some more performances soon.

On the subject discussed during your visit of what might be going on in experimental/post avant circles nearer to you I still don't know, but the editor and contributors to the Midlands section of Harr Godwin's Cleaves journal (http://cleavesjournal.com/) might be worth approaching. Otherwise it seems to be a case of attending gigs, small exhibitions and other events that seem likely to attract that sort of a crowd, and gradually you'll accumulate flyers, hear about venues, meet people, and begin to get some sense of what scene there is. It only took me a few months here once I started looking, and I'm really exceptionally shy, so it's not that hard. Also check out Openned's Calendar (http://www.openned.com/calendar/).

Anyway, I hope we'll see you up here in Manchester again sometime soon. Thanks again.

Matt
