😁 Stupidly, I momentarily assumed Belgium is only about 15 miles across... Which is a bit daft as I've driven from Dunkirk to Saarbrucken via Mons and Luxembourg many times!

Went to see Sirom - they bill themselves as an imaginary folk band from Slovenia. There's three of them, and at least fourteen instruments. All acoustic, from some Mongolian two string bass to penny whistle, from a Moroccan 1string violin thing to a weird nine string cross between a bass banjo and a lyre to a hurdy hurdy. And lots of things to bash. They played four "songs" in just over an hour, there were repetitive beats on a home made glockenspiel overlaid with clashing zither melody and African two string thing that became a big fat groove, then dropped out to leave ethereal singing interspersed with gong and one of em playing a dog bowl with a violin bow. I normally hate folk music. But this was like they played all the folk music in the world at the same time. I loved it, and would urge anyone to go see them, they're in Brighton this eve , then in Belgium *.. *@Hellzero - 4AD muziekclub, Diksmuide 22/11. Highly recommended!
