Review: Word Soup #4 @ New Continental
Word Soup is Preston’s live lit night and this month’s was bigger than ever. Not only was it part of the Preston Tringe Festival and recorded for Preston FM and Diversity FM, but it had the biggest turn out so far. If you weren’t able to make it, here’s what you missed…
The night kicked off with Sally Murray, a musician from Manchester, who wowed the crowd with her beautiful voice and chilled out songs. And when there was a sound issue, she showed her sense of humour. read article »
Review: John Cage’s Disco Classics @ Adelphi
I’m not sure how to describe this show. It’s billed as a mix of experimental performance with disco-funk classics, well for a start there isn’t much disco-funk. It’s definitely one of the most out there performances of the Preston Tringe Festival.
