Midwinter Picnic 2011 - a Spotify playlist

On Sunday 16 Jan 2010 I had the pleasure of playing other people's tunes before, between and after the bands at the second Midwinter Picnic [Facebook link with footage filmed on the day], a delightful, ramshackle affair held at West Hill community hall in Brighton.

The bill (assembled by Chris T-T) was made up of the sublimely eclectic likes of Paris-based Scottish singer-songwriter Mark McCabe, the noisily compelling Napoleon IIIrd, a harpist called Serafina Steer, and local folktronica heroes Grasscut, among others, so I responded with what I hope was an appropriately varied selection.

Here's the whole thing* on Spotify, should you like to hear it yourself.
