Protagonists at Hackney Wicked 2011

Travel PDG style

 Hackney Wicked is a DIY friendly, multi-locational, jam-packed art and music festival. It also seems to bring good weather on for it's third year in a row. When a nation-wide artist offered a space for us to perform in, we jumped for the chance to bring along new bassist Simon Paton. All seemed well, and we arrived in our van, to play on the sunny tarmac. Alas, the stage was without electricity and therefore no PA. Searching for another spot was a bit of a goose chase, cos Wicked is busy. Was this going to stop us? Of course not, we set up acoustically next to a commercial residence numbered 8B, in the Queens Yard, next to CA Halpins' cube and the barbecues, right in the action. For David we presented a folding table with 3 tyres on top, supporting a traffic cone which rested in cannon position for him to be heard over his accompaniment. You could even make out the words. Meanwhile Simon gave his all on the percussion frame, tom toms and cymbals, SPeW gave one of her best PDG performances to date, and Jonas unified us on drums with added frustrational thrust. Stay tuned for videos of this outdoor Hackney Wicked set.
