Keith Tippett's Rare Music Club - 1993-02-xx - Bristol, UK (FM/FLAC)

A concert from Keith Tippett's Rare Music Club in Bristol. Set up by Keith to promote contemporary classical, improvised and world music, all on the same bill, his aims were for audiences to be able "..to listen to a Bartok string quartet with a pint of Guinness or a glass of red wine, if they so wished…".

This night featured Northumbrian Pipe player Pauline Cato with some traditional tunes, followed by some contemporary classical from The Composers Ensemble and an improvised set by Mujician. FM broadcast by BBC Radio 3. MP3 sample in comments.

Another night from several years later to follow.

NOTES
Recorded by me off air direct from the original broadcast in 1993 to a Panasonic Hi-Fi VHS video recorder in SP audio only mode. Sometime in the mid to late 1990's I misguidedly transferred all my radio recordings to VHS LP audio mode. This combined with the age of the tapes has resulted in some evident distortion throughout.
