Quims unplugged Ilkley 27th January 2011
The first meeting of QUIMS in the badlands of Ilkley, in the foreboding shadow of the cow and calf rocks of Ilkley moor. We were joined by Mark ‘from Ilkley’ (John’s friend, although it turned out Jez had met him before as had peeps who attended last years Deer Shed festival) and notable absentees were ‘other John’ due to work commitments and Bob ‘the chiropodist’ due to emergency eye surgery. It was always going be a fairly mellow evening as the theme was ‘unplugged’. There were very different interpretations of what unplugged meant ranging from the traditional MTV-esque unplugged versions of usually plugged bands playing their songs in an unplugged stylee, through to cellists and even Buddhist monks ringing bells and symbols. All very acoustic stuff and a predictably eclectic selection. A very entertaining evening complete with beer, cheese and olives, the obligatory rendition of ‘Song to the siren’, a track from the Amateur Transplants, and thankfully no appearance from mr Bungle.
