Nurse With Wound




Whales,Weebles and Wailings.
I went to see the band Nurse With Wound at the QEH on Saturday evening. The moon was eclipsing whilst we sat and listened to some beautiful and ethereal sounds. The set comprised a few different soundscapes ending with my favourite - Salt Marie Celeste, loosely based on the abandoned ship, the Marie Celeste. Lot's of creaking wood and washing waves complete with a toy whale used as a sound device.
The stunning background video made by Freida Abtan provided a welcome visual to accompany the sounds. I'd love to know how she made the vid as it was extreme and seemed so ghostly.
Good for the ears, good for the eyes. A damned good gig and one to keep ones mind racing for future ideas involving school.

Many thanks to JPaul23 for the very fine photo's. You can see more of his work here
