QUADELECTRONIC
Quad Studios - 78 Friday Street, Leicester, LE1 3BW (0116 251 2516)

Improvised electronics, anything from outer space nebula meltdowns to Terry Riley in a jazz café!
Not that we'd ever get the real Terry to join in! Instead, regulars these days are usually...
Chris Conway, Alan Freeman, Steve Freeman, Jim Tetlow, Jez Creek, etc.
Anyone with a sense of adventure is welcome to join-in the impromptu jams!
Of course an audience welcome too, and it's free!
Refreshments, tea, coffee available, but no bar, so bring your own booze if you wish
