Two legends of Readings music scene return for an evening of Uneasy Easy Listening. Mike
Cooper, from longtime residence in Italy and now Spain and Alan Clayson from across the
Thames in Caversham. For six decades Cooper has travelled the world recording and
performing a variety of musical styles and genre. Tonight he brings his DNA (Digital Nomad
Arts) project to the Rising Sun. Expect Electric Lap Steel Guitar, Voice, Live Sampling and
Looping.

“An icon of post everything music Cooper has recently been hailed as one of the masters of
Outer Limits Music with his Ambient /Electronic/ Exotica output. Cooper’s output is sublime".

Alan Clayson has never fitted neatly anywhere - and his rare solo recitals defy succinct description. Moreover, in the context of mainstream modern pop, THERE’S STILL TIME, his restless new long-player, has an effect akin to that of a Viking longship docking in a hovercraft terminal, functioning in a sphere where songs collide with monologue, humour curdles into unease - and momentum matters more than polish.
