17 Dec 2008, 20:00 - The Gathering Variety night - St. Pancras old church

£5/3 conc.

Annual variety night for long-standing improv collective the gathering. Perhaps Contraption will be performing a 15 minute set of improv and performance alongside a myriad of some of london’s finest improv musicians In this stunning venue.

The Gathering is a floating population of improvisers in various media but mostly music by happenstance. Gatherings are unstructured and non-conceptual, about collective interplay rather than jamming (ie. not a string of solos over rhythm section) although in practice it is open to go anywhere, depending on who with what influences are actually present at the time, ever-changing anyway. As The Gathering was founded at about 1990 by Maggie Nicols, dancer and vocalising performer extraordinaire, vocalists, dancers and women are especially welcome. We also enjoy the presence of visual artists and spontaneous word artists. Gatherers meet every wednesday, at 8.45 for a 9pm start...its a very special place indeed. more info at
