Walking into the room just after he had started and easing to the front I had a great view of him - astounding effort and application. It takes a certain balls to play like this, a really exposed situation and style. ((( Charles certainly knows how to deliver the goods... he is incredibly focussed and driven - I find his playing very inspirational. There was a great minute when he stood up and eyeballed virtually everyone in the room in turn. ((( He did that in Dublin too. There's a shot of it in my Dublin set of photos on Flickr (link below). Great news about that Petit film... always wanted to see it.. it played for one day (as part of some festival) here last year, or the previous year, but I wasn't able to make it. I just wish they'd release some of the C4 commissions he did with Iain Sinclair, like The Cardinal And The Corpse, The Falconer etc. Speaking of Sinclair, he's going to be here Sunday week for The Dublin Writer's Festival... made my day when I found out...

The other thing that places Art Pop above the previous Git releases is the songs themselves. It is just the right time to be less abstract and return to song form, and Art Pop has quite a lot of great ones, led by superb vocal performances by C&M. giluz - -- Now playing: http://www.last.fm/user/giluz/ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 05 Jun 2007 14:42:05 +0100 From: tony clough Subject: [idealcopy] Re: idealcopy-digest OT Faust > Date: Tue, 5 Jun 2007 00:42:09 +0100 > From: "Keith Knight" > Subject: RE: [idealcopy] Charles plays a blinder > > The main event was in the next door room where Faust were playing and by > the time we got there one could barely squeeze into the room, possibly > because there was a safety area down the front to catch the sparks > regularly set off by the various electrical hardware employed. Keith, Thanks for a description of a great night. I was actually there but I, along with 50-60 others, didn't manage to squeeze in and was left in the entrance hall. I went home after 3 or 4 minutes. If anyone else on the list was there and did the same, contact the venue. They're quite apologetic and I'm told a refund is on its way. Small consolation - I've seen them a few times before when they were crap or lacklustre. This would have been the night to see them it seems. Tony. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 Jun 2007 19:59:52 +0100 From: "Keith Knight" Subject: RE: [idealcopy] Re: idealcopy-digest OT Faust That's dreadful news, Tony. The organisation of the night was fairly shambolic and I'd have to be really up for it to go there again I think. Just as well I didn't need the loo during Faust - I just knew I'd never have made it back in.
