Local collective and label Ceremonial Laptop present a night of experimental music and fun!

Greg On Boats - a new visual score composed by photographer and teacher Michelle Adsley-Toal, comprising the ongoing photographic documentation of her husband Greg on various boats. Performed by NINIT and Ceremonial Laptop house band : The New Gardeners Society. Audience participation is greatly encouraged.

Recent music from NINIT:

Si Paton

Solo prepared bass guitar. Armed with multiple distortion pedals, screwdrivers, drumsticks, pencils, and anything that the other bands left onstage, he has crafted compelling performances that consist of virtuosic free jazz one minute, dense walls of harsh noise the next, and utilising performance art the next, dealing with the kind of chaotic energy that Andy Kauffman made famous. He has been known to play whilst climbing on tables, engage in staring contests with unsuspecting audience members, recite wrestling promos, and generally disregarding his own safety.

Here is a recent vid of one of his live sets

Jackson Burton

Jackson Burton works with scores, text pieces and action-based performances that address class and other things, often in collaboration with Ash Reid, sometimes solo. Recent output has included performances at Cafe OTO, The Fruit Market Edinburgh and Hundred Years Gallery and a recent release on Infant Tree in 2023 with Adam Bohman, Sophie Sleigh-Johnson and Sue Lynch.
