Jo Quail

I have recently started working evenings at a local restaurant, which has the ironic perk of holding regular music nights and concerts, with a list of world renowned artists making appearances and local tassie artists regularly opening the shows. So how could I resist when Uk performer Jo Quail came to Mountain Mumma? Well, obviously I couldn't. 

The beautiful electric cello stood on the stage, (as though tempting one to touch) while we (My mother, visiting sister and partner Remo) indulged in the tasting platters and tassie made wines served by the wonderful staff.

Jo Quail took up her bow and stunned all attending with the haunting beauty, and elaborate layered pieces produced with the use of a loop deck and original percussion techniques!

Her music truly enabled me to envisage and imagine compelling and emotion scenes which I related to the piece being played.

I have a little "fetish" with instrument cases, and so took the opportunity after the dreamy show to snap a shot of the entertainers cello case, made of light and hardy "carbon fibre" as Remo pointed out. Every case has marks, stickers, tags and a history of traveling music which I am drawn to! 

Of course I jumped in line to purchase a Cd, (containing my favourite piece the Adder Stone) and gushed at the performer while posing for a snap, curtsy of my long suffering sister Monica. 

We all walked home amid my rambling and lustings after loop decks to slump onto the couch, mug of chai in hand and listen to the album Caldera.
