Andy will perform Epic at the Y Theatre, Leicester, 25th October. A performance of Breaking Bread will take place at Clarendon College, Nottingham Nov. 4th as part of Now '96 Nottingham’s Festival Of Arts for today. Now in its 7th year the festival celebrates the best contemporary performance, spoken word, visual and live art, dance, new music, digital imagery and new technology, presenting artists who present their work in non-traditional venues such as nightclubs, disused substations and shops and electronic sites as well as in theatres and galleries. Sponsored by Habitat, the festival also features specially commissioned works, this year including Incarceration, an installation piece by Pressure Of Speech, Scanner and Dorigen Hammond examining the concepts and forms of incarceration (Sandfield House, Mansfield Bd. 21st-26th Oct. Free). A Guy Called Gerald, Errolyn Wallen and Buggy G Ftiphead collaborate to create a new music composition for live instruments and midi technology combined with a computer generated visual language. Called Digital Clubbing it is an event where The Essance nightclub in Nottingham will be digitally linked to to other clubs with on-line and video conference facilities with a performance by Zion Train direct from Europe transmitted simultaneously to all the clubs taking part. Pass that spliff thorough the hot wall... (Nov. 8th)"

Produced by Digital Diaspora

On August 4 Digital Diaspora, from their base in Brixton's 'The Brix' at St Matthew's, will host the London broadcast of 'Billboard Live' from Sunset Strip in Los Angeles. As part of the grand opening celebration of LA's new live entertainment venue, Digital Diaspora will provide a live interactive link between the stateside celebrations and an unique live club performance from London. Other cities involved include: New York, Dublin and Paris.

Fusing elements of jazz, dub, hip-hop, techno and funk to create abstract soundscapes, Digital Diaspora will be collaborating with the UK's leading DJ's and musicians taking the progression of live drum 'n' bass to a new level of innovation. The session will include artists: LTJ Bukem (Featuring MC Conrad), A Guy Called Gerald and Marque Gilmore's Drum FM (Featuring MC Tricksta) other special guests.

The London leg of 'Billboard Live', takes place from 11pm till 4am, August 4 and boasts the cream of the UK's drum and bass` fraternity coming live from The Brix to Sunset Strip and the potential 50 million audience on the worldwide web.

This outdoor gala centres around the launch of the Billboard Live night-club, with over 1000 celebs and VIPs and the first time closure of 'the Strip' to accommodate this mammoth event. Digital Diaspora will broadcast audio and visuals via ISDN from London with Diaspora VJs cutting and mixing between LA and Brixton creating an unparalleled transatlantic hybrid
cyberspace broadcast. Two monster Sony Jumbotron, located outside the venue on Sunset Strip will display the event to an audience of over 1000. In addition, Digital Diaspora in

'Digital Playground: London To L.A. is the latest in a long line of groundbreaking Digital Diaspora events on the worldwide web using ISDN. The brainchild of Marc Boothe,
Digital Diaspora itself is a network of artists, musicians and writers dedicated to fusing urban culture with new media. Digital Diaspora events have already included Digital Slam I, a live networked event linking the ICA, London and New York's 'Kitchen' and previous ground breaking 'Digital Playground' sessions. Live from Brixton to the worldwide web, the last
session featured a historic fusion of hip-hop legend Afrika Bambaata and UK Drum and Bass pioneer Grooverider and was the first ever net broadcast from a club via the internet .

Then on 25 & 26 August, Digital Diaspora will produce a truly unique event - the first live interactive broadcast from the legendary Notting Hill Carnival, taking the one million strong
street festival onto the worldwide web.

This autumn the story continues with the launch of the first ever monthly networked sessions between London and New York. These will showcase a diverse array of established and
emerging artists in contemporary popular culture collaborating on-line. Leading musicians DJs and visual artists performing simultaneously at the cutting edge of multi-media technology. Later the 'network' will be expanded to include Paris, Tokyo and L.A.

A GUY CALLED GERALD (UK)

Saturday 29.06.96 - 03:00 - Deeday

On the record "Black Secret Technology" the Manchester wonder-boy Gerald Simpson - alias A Guy Called Gerald - bends and stretches voices, beats and bass lines out into time and space. The album, which can best be described as a hybrid of techno and jungle for the feet and brain has been called the best record of the year in sections of the UK music press. It rises above other jungle-like efforts because of its pioneering originality. The speeded-up breakbeats and sounds really are "in tune" with each other - they have almost the same function as African talking drums.

A Guy Called Gerald released the pioneering 1988 minimalistic, acid house album "Hot Lemonade" and later "Automatikk" in 1990. He played an excellent set at Roskilde Festival 1990 - in his acid house days.

News story from the Glasgow Herald:

" At the creative centre of A Guy Called Gerald there is, naturally enough, a guy called Gerald......Gerald Simpson. Straightforward enough, but Gerald Simpson is a guy who's curiously difficult to pin down.

He's a musician, as his forthcoming Strange Fruit engagement will reveal. He's a DJ, as folk at Glasgow's Volcano discovered a couple of weeks ago. He's a re-mixer, as can be vouchsafed by acts as diverse as jazz diva Flora Purim and industrial grindcore merchants Cabaret Voltaire. He's pioneered all forms of dance music, from Chicago house in the eighties to today's drum'n'bass excursions. "

From Normski's Instagram:

"Somewhere in the middle of France in 96 during the Juice Box records road trip tour of Europe. Travelled from Riverside Studio in Hammersmith to Mannheim Germany to Innsbruck Austria to Switzerland back to France. Played nearly every city & town through France Chamonix, Lyon, Angers right down to Cannes & every town between and back up ending in Paris and back to London travelling for 3 weeks. Gigging Jungle Drum n Bass sounds all the way with A Guy Called Gerald, The Golden Kid, David Simpson & Mr Dermot Smyth. Even popped into Potsdam and stumbled across a disused Nazi concentration camp. Went to Belgium got lost on road numerous times. Got stuck in snow after the Cham Jam gig in Chamonix the list of crazy adventures really goes on. I won't forget supporting St Germain at the Bikini Club in Toulouse where my Canon Hi 8 Video camera was stolen, but the show always went on. All this with a loaned mobile phone and a shed load of facsimile's and a couple of boxes of records."
