BAKED BEANS ON THE DOORSTEP

November 18th will be the LAST EVER Baked Beans On The Doorstep so come on down for a night of unforgettable sounds featuring Philadelphia based Bhob Rainey and Glasgow weirdo pop legends Spine!

We are extremely happy to present a solo set and ensemble piece by the great ear bending composer and saxophonist Bhob Rainey. His Glasgow based improvising ensemble will include Mike Bullock (double bass), Ailbhe Nic Oireachtaigh (viola), Elena Inei (violin) and Fritz Welch (percussion).

Bhob Rainey is a saxophonist, composer, and improviser. On the saxophone he has developed a distinctive, hallucinatory vocabulary that often sounds electronic, interspersed with an uncanny mastery of multiphonics. In 1998 he co-founded the duo nmperign with trumpeter Greg Kelley, touring extensively while upending a host of improvisational givens. Seeking to bring rigor to improvisation at a larger scale, he later formed The BSC, an eight-piece ensemble that navigated the challenges of group improvisation without relying on predetermined structures or cues. Their work and practices were explored in the 2011 book and album, Manual. Rainey additionally has a long list of collaborators and an especially refined solo saxophone style. He was awarded a Pew Fellowship in the Arts in 2013 for his work in this field.
