OK, I know i’d promised Eskimos Fall this week – but what with the small event of the first ever BANDWDITH GIG coming up this Friday, we thought’d we’d whet your appetite for a little Albrecht’s Pencil.

The idea to film Albrecht’s first came about after watching their intimate set at the Willowstone Festival in the summer. Joel, Fionn and Laura share a passion with Bandwidth about breaking down that barrier that exists between audiences and performers – at Willowstone they played in the middle of the festival field, under a giant willow-structure, sitting on bales of hay.

We’ve also been meaning to film something at the QFT for a while now too – so this seemed a natural match. After much deliberation, we even settled on allowing input from a certain Igmar Bergman (my original vote had been for John Carpenter – how glad I am I was shouted down).

After the gig, the band expressed their desire to tour living rooms, kitchens and patios around the country. Enter Bandwidth.

Albrecht’s Pencil will be playing the inaugural Bandwidth gig on Friday 20th November, at 7pm in the living room of 12 Ashley Avenue, Belfast. Come along! It’s free in and BYObooze. With support from Isobel Anderson.
