Memory Wire
Memory Wire @ November Chill Out- gig report
Memory Wire played their longest live set at Some Other Chill - November Chill - Stamford Arts Centre It was quite a night - other acts included medieval music duo Mandrake, guitar master-looper Loop Cycle and visuals were by The Miracle Lens.
Then Memory Wire took to the stage and flew for an hour... playing 2 pieces. Jim recorded and filmed it so we will decide what to do with that but I suspect youtube will get it first.
