at Sharmanka Kinetic Theatre, 7pm, Friday 28th October
FERLIE LEED were invited to perform at Glasgow’s unique Sharmanka Kinetic Theatre, a bizarre, hilarious, and disturbing collection of automata and kinetic sculpture housed at the city’s 103 Trongate.
FERLIE LEED’s usual constituents Una MacGlone and Gerry Rossi can’t make this one, so Tam Dean Burn and George Burt have asked Jessica Argo to bring the ethereal magic of the Theremin from its homeland of Russia to the heart of Glasgow in a Futurist celebration of love, loss and the power of Radio…
There will also be a VERY SPECIAL GUEST…. the wonderful MAGGIE NICOLS!
For this special occasion we have re-named the band for this event- we will be THE FUTURISTICOS, and we will convey some of the power and magic of Mayakovsky, Khlebnikov and HM Enzensberger in Edwin Morgan’s outstanding translations into Scots and English.
The FUTURISTICOS are:
Jessica Argo- Theremin
George Burt- guitar
Tam Dean Burn- voice
