Michael Begg. Solo set from ICR:35, Cafe Oto, London, September 30th 2016
BANDCAMP EXCLUSIVE: https://omnempathy.bandcamp.com/album/michael-begg-live-at-cafe-oto
From Cafe Oto listing:
The celebration, ICR:35, features 5 solo sets from Michael Begg (Human Greed, Fovea Hex), Jonathan Coleclough, Andrew Liles (Nurse With Wound, Current 93), Colin Potter (Nurse With Wound, Monos) and Paul Bradley (Monos, Twenty Hertz).
ICR, the studio, mail order and distribution started by Colin Potter in the early 1980s is an important contributor to the history of British independent experimental music.
ICR is 35 years old, and has released over 80 albums to date. Yet it remains a relatively obscure presence to all but the true fans and followers of marginal music. All the more surprising when the roll call of artists involved with the label covers a broad spectrum of eccentric and innovative musical imagination.
This event allows 4 key players in the ICR story to celebrate an overlooked landmark of British exploratory music. There will also be 2 special guests – Clodagh Simond of Fovea Hex will be making a rare UK appearance and Paul Bradley.
