Sat 22 June - Graham 'Dids' Dowdall - a tribute and elegy to the composer-musician aka GAGARIN

 Graham 'Dids' Dowdall died this week.  A tribute to the musician, composer, educator, experimentalist. His solo project GAGARIN expressed his retro-futurist consciousness. He worked with famous names Nico and Pere Ubu but was a great egalitarian. As well as being a phenomenal sound-artist with his solo work he was a valued band member, playing excellently on other's projects and appreciated for his generosity. Playing tracks from his duo with Roshi Nasehi and a live session from Scaledown recorded by Mal Robinson and other pieces and featuring extracts from an interview with Joe Mugford.
