This concert saw Mark Anthony Whiteford (saxophone and miscellaneous percussion/electronics), and Stuart Chalmers (kalimba and electronics), performing as a duo and in various combinations with members of the Cambridge Free Improvisation Society. Mark has been active on the Bristol improvised music scene since the 1980s, having been involved in the punk movement inspired by the likes of the Pop Group and Rip Rig and Panic; Stuart, who records solo material under the moniker Skarabee, incorporates elements of ambient music and minimal improv to create unique soundscapes and intense threads of textured quiet and silence.

The Cambridge Free Improvisation Society, a group of student musicians, have performed a number of gigs in recent years, sharing the bill with Styles J. Kauphmann, Eric Chenaux, The Dead Rat Orchestra, and others. Their most recent performance was a recreation of Dantes Hell alongside Jeremy Hardinghams actors group.

On this occasion, members of the society playing were: David Grundy, David Curington, Daniel Larwood, Jo Davis.
