MIE’s Wooden Guitar Series with Cam Deas and C Joynes at The Castle Hotel
Hey

Two excellent guitarists doing two solo sets and then one improvised duo.
C Joynes - http://www.myspace.com/cjoynes
Heavy thumb-led finger-picking techniques that hark back to traditional country-blues and early ragtime, venturing off to explore alternative melodic traditions inspired by a multitude of travels. One of Cambridgeshire’s greatest musical exports, Joynes is the modern-day Histon giant.
Cam Deas - a taster of his new LP http://soundcloud.com/camdeas/quadtych-taster-mix
Post-Blackshaw outer-shredder Cam Deas is a guitarist indebted not only to the whole Fahey Takoma school, as is all the rage, but also to fellow Sheffielder Derek Bailey. Veering between whirling cyclones and waves of traditional finger-picked 12-string blues and psychedelic freak-outs of clicking and scratching free improv, Deas’s sounds range from folky aggression to smoked-out bliss. Studious and endless emotional crescendos dipping in and out of ragas compete with prudent and considered amelody, all to the listener’s amazement. A slew of releases include some on the essential labels Blackest Rainbow and The Great Pop Supplement.
Thanks and hopefully see you there!
Henry MIE

An invitation to get involved…
The Shrieking Violet is delighted to be teaming up with Manchester Modernist Society and the Loiterers Resistance Movement to invite you to join us in a collaborative project promoting a century of Modernist women to coincide with the hundredth birthday celebrations of International Women’s Day on March 8.
We are currently looking for expressions of interest around the theme of ten fabulous females strongly associated with the North West spanning the fields of invention, aviation, media, science, design and architecture in the twentieth century.
We aim to produce a publication and range of activities centred around the lives and careers of our ten local heroines in early March, and are looking for your creative responses. This can be (but is not limited to) an event, performance, piece of creative writing, interview or journalism. Our only stipulation is that the work be about one of our ten local heroines.
The Manchester Modernist Society exists to raise awareness and appreciation of Modern architecture & the urban environment and related modern art and design, in Manchester and the surrounding region, through walks, talks and creative collaborations
For more information on how to contribute, and the list of featured heroines, please follow this link.
Don’t despair, watch this instead!

General Interest Lecture Series
Starting on the 25th January 2011, Soup Kitchen, Manchester, UK will be home to the General Interest lecture series.
With speakers from around the world, as suggested by Manchester practioners, General Interest hopes to introduce the exchange of knowledge, promote open discussion and bring together common interests.
This is how we will do it…
The talks will begin in the early evening, depending on the speakers location. The Manchester practitioner will introduce their nominated speaker giving a brief insight into why they have put that individual or group forward.
Then it will be passed on to the Speaker to give their talk on a subject of their choice however they wish to.
Open discussion is promoted.
Many of the talks will be conducted via Skype and projected at the venue as the location of the Speaker may not necessarily be Manchester. Interaction with the Speaker will still be possible of course.
These talks will be accompanied by a short run publication detailing the members involved and the process of organising the event. The event will then be archived here, online.
