XPOSED CLUB presents: Charles Hayward solo + Phosphene (John Cavanagh solo project)

Charles Hayward (begin anywhere): known primarily as a drummer, songwriter and improviser, a new project centred around songs performed at the piano, a sequence of betrayal, paranoia, subterfuge, opening out into resistance, hope and humanity, interweaved with sound events, drums, spoken word, performance. Stark, minimal arrangements; an unexpected departure.
