Rhodri Davies, John Bisset, Mark Sanders & the audience
NAWR Aberystwyth brings you a symphony of Slide Guitar, Harp, Drums and Bottles. Another evening of the finest experimental happenings:
John Bisset - Slide Guitar
Currently touring Wales in his camper van. John Bisset is a guitarist, improviser, composer, and film maker living in London.
He writes:
"I was taught piano from aged five, but at eleven I got hold of a guitar on which I was left to my own devices. My relationship with the guitar continues to enchant and confound me; my attempts at mastery ever elusive. Musical encounters with others disrupt my intentions, undercut my expectations, generate new sounds and extended techniques which are enriching, and somehow impossible to access in solo playing."

John White's Drinking and Hooting Machine
We thought we would stage John White's experimental piece which involves the audience drinking a FREE bottle of beer. We performed it over a year ago and its was an absolute hoot!
We need at least 20 performers so bring all your pals.
