I could have done with it being a more rambunctious performance than the more subdued electronics/amplified objects/laptops setup we actually got. It wasn't bad, it just a little unfocussed to me. Though Matana Roberts' occasional interjections on clarinet, sax, or percussion (and a couple with her voice) in particular felt sharp and purposeful. But both great performers, good support from Rebekah Reid too.

About

The Portico Library and Gallery opened in 1806 as a Library and Newsroom and still occupies its original site - 'the most elegant and retired street in town' according to John Dalton. Its mainly 19th century collection is accessed by Members as well as researchers in the UK and abroad. The Library continues to flourish as a hub of cultural activity by hosting a thriving and active programme of exhibitions and events throughout the year. These are open to members and the public generally.
