Live From Birmingham: Acid Mothers Temple, B.E.A.S.T. & Focus
by Martin Longley
Acid Mothers Temple The Flapper September 30, 2016 Acid Mothers Temple can be creatures of habit. In several cities, they often return to the same venue each time they tour.

Live From Birmingham: The Manchester Camerata Orchestra, The Gloaming & Kirk Fletcher
by Martin Longley
The Godfather, with live accompaniment by The Manchester Camerata Orchestra Symphony Hall September 16, 2016 There seems to be a growing tendency for talkie screenings with live musical scoring.

Live From Birmingham: Eleanor Friedberger, Hans-Joachim Roedelius, Weaves & Cavern Of Anti-Matter
by Martin Longley
Eleanor Friedberger Academy 3 September 6, 2016 She's on tour, all the way from upstate New York (economically hounded out of Brooklyn only recently), and surely slightly disappointed by the meagre turn-out in the Academy's smallest room.

The Darius Jones Quintet/The Mara Rosenbloom Trio Ibeam June 13, 2016 This appealing double bill made a Monday night visit to Ibeam a certainty, even if only for a select-sized audience.
