Nighty Night
June 30, 2010 By 4 Comments
3e have just finished showing the very odd and wonderfully irritating comedy Nighty Night. I had seen it a few years ago in dribs and drabs but managed to watch the two series again. It contains many familiar faces from the British comedy family, including Julia Davis (Jam), Kevin Eldon (He has been in everything!) Rebecca Front (The Day Today, Knowing Me, Knowing You), Ruth Jones (Little Britain, Gavin and Stacey) and Mark Gatiss (The League of Gentlemen). There is also a Stewart Lee doppelganger in the form of a vicar.
It is a twisted, bubbling mixture of irritation, humour and blatant freakishness -I love it.
Aphex Twin – Cabaret
June 29, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Aphex Twin has done some legendary live performances in the past, so when we were asked to produce his stage show for the Traffic festival in Turin (with 20,000 people turning up), we wanted to do something a little out of the ordinary.
We decided that we wanted to push the show away from just video projections so we enlisted the help of dance choreographer Darren Johnston of the excellent Array.
We wanted to combine our knowledge of video projections and Darren’s knowledge of dance choreography. So we had the dancers (Aphex masks, wedding dresses and all) move behind on stage screens and used video projections to morph their silhouettes into multi limbed monsters which raved away to Aphex’ set.
We offset this with a central screen which showed mutated hands working a variety of analogue audio gear. The result was a delightfully twisted cabaret which seemed to fit the event perfectly.
He came to talk about regeneration…

Brian Cowen really feeling the heat today.
Around 100 people have protested outside Kings Island Community centre in Limerick during a visit by Taoiseach Brian Cowen.
The group of parents and people with intellectual disabilities are protesting over cut-backs in respite services in Limerick.
…
The Taoiseach met protestors and gave them a personal commitment that he would look into the matter RTÉ NEWS
From looking at Brian there, I’m guessing he also gave himself a personal commitment not to let himself be put in an awkward postion like that again. After all that argy-bargy, he needed some respite away from angry Joe Public. Did you know that there’s a Joe Public football club? You do now.
