A special evening of Bankside performances curated by The Tapeworm, as part of the Merge Festival
London Town's finest cassette-only label, The Tapeworm, presented its third annual event in the Capital. Exemplary music and much excitement is to be expected from a line-up of the label's mates.
Mr Ken Hollings, a writer of note, read some text from the first Bookworm publication, to be launched on the same night. Sweden's BJNilsen flew in and making a splendid noise for all. A second Swede, CM von Hausswolff (he's a King, dontchaknow…) shared a stage with Touch's Mike Harding, in a reading of Edgar Allen Poe like none before… Cult vs. occult - former Medicine Head man Peter Hope-Evans and illustrator Savage Pencil whipped up a dark blue storm. Mr Pencil's fine drawings were also on display. Hopping on the bus from Elephant & Castle was Zerocrop and his band; pop perfection from a local lad. And finally, a London eye - video installation by Vicki Bennett, aka People Like Us.
