Rise of Moons with The Selkies and Cloudshoes

Wednesday 10th October 2018

Liam couldn't make it in the end. The Selkies were as lovely as ever. As well as handing out percussion instruments to the audience at one point, they got everyone involved in a Scandinavian(?) girls' singing game. Nou's boyfriend Seb assisting on percussion. Cloudshoes was a band this time (not just Conrad solo): the one-and-only Josh Cottam on drums and Pete Gibbs on bass. Despite "Rise of Moons" supposedly being an acoustic alternative to the Crash of Moons nights, this was fully electric. Various masks and skulls involved, one of Conrad's things at the moment. Josh playing synths and drumming simultaneously (and singing harmonies!) I was DJ and (masked) compere on this occasion. Excellent turnout. And because there were only two of the three acts, I got to play an extra long DJ set at the end, had time to really get the party started (you can hear that dance set from a about 45m here, the first 45 minutes being genre-appropriate mini-sets played before The Selkies and between acts):
