of Silent Cinema” in London.
6 October 2007, Ciné Lumière, London
“Invitation to a Dream”: a six-film celebration of the work of
Germaine Dulac with live accompaniment by three acts (us, L’Inquiétant
Suspendu and Errollyn Wallen). We played - at long last - to a 35mm print of The Seashell and the Clergyman,
recently restored by the Netherlands Filmmuseum. We also played to a short
film of Dulac’s from 1929, Étude
cinégraphique sur une arabesque.
3, 4, 5 October 2007, Shunt Vaults, London
This was a chance to get back into the swing of it before our important
weekend. We met the French band L’Inquiétant Suspendu too. They played, we
played, then we all played together - jamming to 60s/70s short experimental
films. The DVD player’s eccentricities kept us on our toes... chaotic...
great fun...
27 July 2007, Shot by the
Sea film festival, Hastings
We were the festival’s opening item. Storms blew down the original venue,
“the remarkable GaiaNova Dome”... Plan B was an open-air screening...
unfortunately it rained at the last minute. So we went indoors and played another
ad-hoc show for the hardy remaining audience.

sheet as a makeshift screen to a packed audience. We added Symphonie diagonale to the set for the
first time.
10 December 2006, Bethnal Green
Working Men’s Club, London
Second show of the day, this was a rock ‘n’ roll thing, sandwiched on a
packed cabaret bill between a drag act and a punk band.
