You may have spotted a rather fabulous photograph of experimental composer and underground pop star Simon Bookish playing live in Mary Magdalene’s Church on the site last week. It was taken at a mesmerising one-off performance, augmented with live sampling work by Leafcutter John and staged as part of a series based around disparate pianists playing a highly prized Bösendorfer concert grand piano.

Well, the whole bloody brilliant gig is now streaming on Soundcloud. Set aside some time for it. Serious.

And, let’s give a general HOORAY FOR THE INTERNET.
