Late Lunch with Out to Lunch

Five musicians - Graham Davis (synths), Dave Black (electric guitar), Paul Shearsmith (trumpet), Peter Baxter (percussion), Out To Lunch (piano) - respond with words and notes to audio cut-ups of their own playing from previous sessions, including a version of Frank Zappa's Wolf Harbor played in West Ealing and an occult anti-spectacular event in the Chalton Gallery in Somers Town last Saturday. In a world gone crazy maybe only the Odd is Real. [Repeated Friday 12am.]
