Experimentum Mundi


On Tuesday evening, I headed along to the Experimentum Mundi performance in Dundee. Norrie from the hairdressers managed to make it along with his family. The concert was excellent and well attended. Lots of Italian workies giving it laldy with their assorted work tools under the watchful eye of a manic, frizzy haired conductor. A group of mature ladies provided backing vocals, with another chap narrating over the performance with lots of information/poetry about the various trades and their tools. Stars of the show for me were the burly Coopers and their muscular barrel - bashing. Sat next to me, Jenny agreed that the broad shouldered mallet wielding men were an inspiration! I was a bit disappointed not to see a hairdresser in there though, adding a wee 'snip snip snip' to this hearty percussive piece!
