Crash of Moons with Archdruid and Stanlæy

Friday 31st May 2019
UCA Bar, Canterbury

A respectable-sized audience, very enthusiastic. VERY enthusiastic. Nice to see that. Archdruid played one long bass-and-drums improv set. Heavy! It was pretty primal, but kept moving enough to stay interesting. Something went wrong with the kit, and there was a nice moment when Oli, the drummer from Stanlæy, signalled to Archdruid's drummer Callum to switch to his, adjacent, kit, and then shifted the mics efficiently so he could carry on the jam without having to reconstruct his own kit. Global Village Green had pulled out, and the two bands left felt just too different to put back-to-back (but members of Stanlæy were up the front enjoying Archdruid). So I did the DJ Prof. Appleblossom thing and played an extended heavy-to-ætherial bridging set, before Bethany Stenning and her band blew everyone away.

Here are the Prof's DJ sets:
