ArtSchism: Christmas Rearranged


This Sunday, Under Mother Bungalow present 'The Bleak Midwinter' a nine minute live audio visual summoning of the spirits of Christmas past and present, as part of ArtSchism: Christmas Rearranged.

16th December 7.30pm St. John Sub Castro, Lancaster Street, Lewes
£5/£3. Mulled wine will be served. Profits to church roof fund.

Heres a word from the guy putting it on, Tom Mugridge:

"Basically the scenario is that it's a kind of "alternative" (hate  
that word but you know what I mean) xmas concert, with mostly local  
people playing their own interpretations of carols or Winter-themed  
music. It's in a church, St John sub Castro, that's on a very ancient  
site in the town; we hope there will be some sort of "spitirual" feel  
about the event, though it's not motivated by religion of any  
particular stripe. The church organ will be used;  Chris Cutler,  
drummer from from Henry Cow, Pere Ubu etc will be playing on a couple  
of the songs; there's a strong folk-music tradition in Lewes so a few  
of the performances will reflect that; there's the more experimental  
aspect with Under Mother Bungalow, Hamilton Yarns, and Barbara Keal - who makes giant  
ceramic pots and sings into them, using only the natural  
amplification from the pots; Nick Collins' 16mm films and of course  
no Lewes Arts Lab event would be complete without some bagpipes..."
