Dead Days Beyond Help

The amazing multi-talents of Mr Alex J Ward (Guilliemots and much, much more) team-up with drummer, Jem Doulton, to reach a petit mort of mad intensity with their modern love moniker, Dead Days Beyond Help.

In their own words: "A guitarist and a drummer, following their whims. (One of the guitarist's more frequent whims is singing - the drummer tends to show a bit more self-control in that regard, though not when he's playing in some of his other bands.)

"Having strenuously avoided anything with a prog or math taint since the demise in 2001 of his previous band Camp Blackfoot, with this material he once again allowed himself to explore (though not fixate upon) overt structural complexity."

We say: A treat for the senses!"

Brainville Desperados

Coming from Germany as part of the ambitious "Week of Small Miracles" mini-fest, the Brainville Desperados are one of those beautifully indefinable bands that just happen and find their way to a place like Calmer*.

Brainville Desperado’s feature contrabass clarinettist Ove Volquartz (Gottingen), percussionist Christian Dreher (Gottingen) and guitarist Andreas Duker (Gottingen) performing improvised music inspired by Sun Ra.

We are more than happy to offer up our welcoming smiles and clapping hands for an evening of excellent improv and more...

"...Ooh!..." Us

Pete Robson

Improvised music from the piano - sometimes a trumpet - but always the heart.

Pete will also be leading an improvisation workshop at Meantime earlier in the day with all ages and abilities welcome.
