THEATRE REVIEW: Galoshins @maskandpuppet @laughandaguise #galoshins

With nothing more than an open hand and a mouth harmonica, puppeteer Shane Connolly captivates the small but perfectly formed gathering at the Scottish Mask and Puppet Centre in Glasgow with a delightful “preamble” in which a confident right hand entices a shy left to wave to the audience and engage them in a clap-a-long before taking a well deserved bow in the spotlight.

An endearing simplicity…

It looks like Galoshins, the puppet play feating Shane Connolly and Alasdair (see more), will have a rare performance in Glasgow in November.

Alasdair is part of David Tibet’s Current 93 band for their upcoming album and tour. A single from the album is available now.

The Furrow Collective also have their third album, Fathoms, out in November, and a lead track is available.

This blog review captures just some of the wonder of the Sin-eater festival.

As darkness falls, Alasdair Roberts (see photo) plays the first big set of the festival to a packed marquee, his clear, high voice channelling dark tales from a point seemingly outside time. 

Beverley Puppet Festival next weekend features performances of Galoshins and The Horseman's Word.

2013 // A year in records...

We've had a great year here at ArmHq. Nice to see some of our releases popping up in end-of-year-lists, a few in The Herald, a few in Jockrock, others here and there.

As a way of saying "thank you" to those of you have supported us in any way we've got a free to download label sampler doing the rounds. Get it HERE.

That's us signing off for 2013. See you on the other side.
