Organisers’ blog Kidsuke and Guests tour – week 3

December 6, 2012
All good things come to an end, and tend to do so rather quickly. The guys have gone back to Japan and we’ve all started to unwind after what was a memorable three-week adventure. During the last week I came across a quote I’m now unable to find again but which summarised what happened rather [...]

Organisers’ blog Kidsuke and Guests tour – week 2

November 21, 2012
Sat in a cafe in Manchester, we’re about to finish our second tour week with a show at The Roadhouse tonight and I’m starting to feel slightly exhausted. Tour managing is fun but it takes a lot out of you. Even more so when you’re doing it on top of other work, as is the [...]

Organisers’ blog Bologna ’10 – Day 5

July 13, 2010
And so it ends. As always this last blog comes a few days after our show ended due to the work and relaxation needed to end such a productive and busy week. Without sounding full of ourselves I think it’s fair to say that From Inner Space has been a success, the show [...]

Organiser’s blog Bologna ’10 – Day 4

July 9, 2010
3.40pm Gelatauro. Granite this time. 4pm Katzuma and Blanda are going over the tricky song from yesterday, covering his entrance points, before Nico and the rest of the band arrives. Luca is showing me the photos from yesterday’s trip to the school, some amazing shots that manage to capture the surreal [...]

Organiser’s blog Bologna ’10 – Day 3

July 8, 2010
Today’s blog has timestamps to help facilitate the flow of what I wrote during the day. 5pm Bumped into Katzuma at Gelatauro. We should so get them to be a sponsor one year considering how much business we bring them the week we’re here. I think last year we managed something [...]

Organiser’s blog Bologna ’10 – Day 2

July 7, 2010
FYI these blogs are written as I go along during the day, hence the at times slightly heratic flow of ideas. We’ve got bass. But no internet. Looks like we forgot to reactivate the key. Today we’re trying to do some separate recordings of the various instruments too. And I’ve had to take [...]

Organiser’s blog Bologna ’10 – Day 1

July 5, 2010
Set ups galore and we’re back. The third event in 13 months, not bad for an idea that took shape two years ago and only started really becoming ‘real’ with the first event in early 2009. This year is hotter, with the July heat bearing down on us and making the use of [...]

Organiser’s blog LDN ’10 – Day 5

March 9, 2010
This blog is a little late but the aftermath of day 5 was rather large this time round. And so Original Cultures London 2010 ends just as quick as it begun in many ways. Everyone has left and life is slowly returning to normal. The last day was a blur for me. The [...]

Organiser’s blog LDN ’10 – Day 4

March 4, 2010
It’s funny how fast time goes during these weeks – it’s as if it was only yesterday I was thinking we still had 3 days ahead of us. In reality we’re as close as it’s going to get with the show in less than 24 hours and pressure and excitement are competing and [...]

Organiser’s blog LDN ’10 – Day 3

March 3, 2010
Improvisation is the name of the game, not just for the artists who start from improvised ideas and develop them into a full show in the space of a few days but also for us at the level of organisation. Even the best laid plans require a degree of flexibility and this time [...]
