We just heard about a gig at Salford’s Islington Mill tomorrow night and, rather than trying to sound all knowledgeable about it, we thought we’d pass on details word for word:

Thursday 7 May gives us the second in the Salford Concert Series – Claus Van Bebber. This German-based artist of longstanding comes directly out of and is contemporary to the late 70s Milan Knizak ‘Broken Music’ school of playing physically ruined records. In 1982 he co-founded the artists’ collective Heinrich Mucken, an intermedia platform animated by a handful of experimental musicians, visual and performance artists. Joining in will be Mick Beck, Ben Gwilliam, Sonic Pleasure, and Matt Wand, whose many talents are far too lengthy to list here, you will just have to come along and witness for yourselves, concert starts 7.30 pm on Thursday 7 May and costs £5.

The mill is just off Chapel Street in Salford – a leisurely 15-minute walk from Deansgate.

Another latecomer to our sphere of awareness: Islington Mill in Salford is hosting Your Space or Mine? tomorrow, Saturday 7 February.

This club night features a live set from Baltimore synth-poppers Future Islands, who sound something like Canada’s New Pornographers and maybe even a bit Postal Service-y – but don’t believe us; hear for yourself on their Myspace.

DJs are Lamb & Wolf, Invest in Property, The Beacon of Hope and friends, who promise to play ‘party tunes on the fly’ from two computers and Myspace and YouTube. Here’s hoping their net connection doesn’t drop mid-track!

This night begins at 9pm and will no doubt go on into the wee small hours. It’s only £3/£4 entry so you’ve got no excuse, especial as this map will hopefully stop you getting lost.
