Last Nights Gig @ the King Arthur, Glastonbury.
The Gig last night was a fantastic example of the Glastonbury's Alternative Music Scene.
Supporting Symeon Webb and Mark Kelly summed up to me the spirit of being a musician in Glastonbury. The Gig in the back room of the King Arthur pub wasn't packed by any means, a nice atmosphere and reasonable crowd, set against the abbey's stone wall. The Drapes and high oak beams over a well lite and well balanced stage, are some of the reasons that glastafarians are drifting here again. Sounds of Glastonbury town promoter and Musician Cameron Scott is the driving force behind the new vibrant vibe at the Arthur. He joined Mark Kelly for an amazing Santana inspired rip on guitar last night taking the night past closing into kicking out/ cutting the power time. Before Mr. Kelly with his 'woody Guthrie' bohemian rants and chug along compositions came Sym, who also decide to bring on stage for an impromptu accompaniment, Jesse Harding. Jesse is a symbiotic Keys player who feels his way through the music adding and pushing you in different directions at any given moment. I really enjoyed 'Sym's' more focused set at the Lazy Ghecko Cafe sessions a week ago, but last night was a unique demonstartion of how Glastonbury can fuse musicians. Ad-libbing with his chaos effects box and vocals to Jesse' jazz esque keys. Ghecko Cafe owner, Samuel Binding commented, "you never know what he's thinking and where we're giong next!"
To sum up, it's like a melting pot here of Individual style. These musicians keep their integrity and join together in moments of mad chaos like last night. To look around the room at pretty much any gig in this town you'll see band members from the other acts here, always supporting and checking each other and jopining in for jam's like last night.
