Irish night in Dalston

Stephen James Smith closed his eyes and submerged into a different world, a world littered with dead friends and acquaintances, but each one of them seemed to leave behind a smile, a tiny warm memory, an inspiration to go on or try something new...

Lilla Vargen also flew straight in from Ireland and was extremely proud of her new band (but she did stress she was not their mother)

Jack Tyson Charles was not on the bill, but he did give us a surprise two song appearance

and David Keenan slowly brought the evening to an end.

Laura Perrudin

started off the evening showing us what you can do with a harp and some electronics

 and Garance followed her, and there was a point when she forgot to play while looking dreamily at me, but hey, it is all in this busy photographer's day

 the people where dancing and enjoying themselves in this hidden garden somewhere in Dalston

and at the end of the evening Joe gave Garance a birthday cake with fireworks and all. Happy Birthday Garance and thanks to Joe for being his normal attentive self.
