False Locust - a Resonance Fundraiser

A fundraising evening for Resonance FM, curated by False Locust at The Horse Hospital in London, with improvisers, electronic and hip-hop-leaning artists, a university researcher and a jazz singer on the bill.

They move across punk, hip-hop and experimental circles. Luigi Monteanni, a PhD candidate in music studies at SOAS and an AHRC CHASE scholarship holder, researches how contemporary transnational pop relates to regional music.

Maggie Nicols, a Scottish jazz singer and dancer born in Edinburgh in 1948, joined the Spontaneous Music Ensemble in London in 1968 as a vocaliser in free improvisation. She later led voice workshops and took part in local experimental theatre.
