January news

Hello Kesh-chums,

We're well into 2017, and there's plenty to update you with.

Live performance on Resonance FM 28 Jan
We're returning for our fourth live session on Dexter Bentley's always intriguing Hello Goodbye show on Resonance FM, London's arts station. This will be broadcast between 12pm-1.30pm UK-time on Saturday 28 January, on 104.4 FM or via the internet: https://resonancefm.com/

Sound And Vision - aired 7 Jan
We released an interpretation of "Sound And Vision" over Christmas: https://soundcloud.com/keshco/sound-and-vision

This was broadcast as part of a Resonance FM four-hour special on Saturday 7 January, alongside a load of exciting and mostly bespoke versions of Bowie tunes through the ages. This can be heard here (the show's been split into three parts, and ours is the first track in part 2): https://www.mixcloud.com/Resonance/the-hello-goodbye-show-07-january-2017-the-day-before-part-2/

Peace song - video and Brussels screening 22 Jan
Keshco are among over 30 groups (mainly activist choirs) who are taking part in a Brussels-based art project in support of conscientious objection to war. We recorded a version of the newly-written anthem, "Say No! (The Deserter's Song), a complex song by Elvis Peeters and Dick van der Harst which we've interpreted for vocals, clarinet, synth and beatboxing. Our video will be broadcast alongside others at a live event this Sunday, 22 January, at Kaaitheater in Brussels. This event will also feature some live performances (not from us) and will be well worth attending if you're near Brussels this weekend.

Our video of "Say No!" is viewable on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/198727287
