THis just in from Oto , dare we even think about going to gigs or will everything be in total meltdown by then? , surely by then? Surely by May – “Hi there. We’re delighted to announce that tickets are now on sale for one of the greatest big bands of all time, SUN RA ARKESTRA! Performing across two nights at EartH, these will be their first London shows in over two and a half years. With a massive, joyous songbook, the Arkestra play with the kind of well organised chaos that sees their legendary 3 hour sets move deftly between rolling grooves, sing-along chants and atonal blasts of mischievous brass. Operating under the direction of saxophonist Marshall Allen, the Arkestra remain one of the most unmissable live acts today. Take care Cafe OTO”

EartH is found in Stoke Newington, London N16, the gigs (hopefully) happen on May 14th and 15th 2022, the full details are here – Although I did see some bulshit about needing a driving license or passport to get in and that nothing else would do so those of us who don’t drive or haven’t left the country recently can piss off… sort it out EartH!
