Introduction
Jo Hutton reviewed the bands first live performance at Café Oto during the summer of 2021 in The Wire:
“The effortless freedom of a child’s voice stops the band with an emphatic funky “huh”. This moment sums up the essence of Maggie Nicols magic: everyone is welcome. All her work is a gathering of disparate souls where everyone’s excellence is assumed.”
This performance led to the idea of organising a tour of afternoon gigs where everyone is welcome and everyone’s excellence is assumed!
The idea is for the gigs to be inclusive and child-friendly but still focused on freely improvised performance. To help with this we have art and craft workshops running during each performance led by artists Naomi Kendrick and Andrew Kerr for everyone attending to get involved with.
