Padden is a multi-instrumentalist and member of the cult experimental
band 'Volcano The Bear'. He also forms with 'The One Ensemble', an

Sarah Kenchington plays her own invented, pedal driven, music machine, it has horns, a hurdy gurdy-banjo and a giant mbira. Her music can sound orchestral, animal, mechanical, uncomfortable or dainty. She performs solo (Shy Showoff) and with the Book Of Beasts. Daniel Padden and Sarah Kenchington will be coming to Stroud from the Serpentine Gallery in London, where they are launching their new album, 'The Bellow Switch' (Shadazz records) £5.00/£4.00 (c) Tickets are available from Kanes records or on the door |
Schools and community groups have been working over the spring on
a exotic flower theme and the results can be witnessed on the streets
of Stroud when 500 participants take root in a vibrant and colourful
procession. The masquerade will wind, hustle and shake its way through
town until it finally comes to rest in a colourfuly transformed Bank
Gardens. Here the festivities will continue throughout the day culminating
in a spontaneous night of latin music and dance.
