Unclassified Live: Kate Stables (This Is The Kit)
Music that won’t stay in its box: Moor Mother, Modern Nature and This Is The Kit appear with the BBC Concert Orchestra in BBC Radio 3’s genre-defying show.
Some music doesn’t fit easy categories. It falls between the cracks and thrives there – putting down roots, pushing up shoots and quietly but unstoppably shifting the whole way that we listen.
Unclassified Live: Kate Stables (This Is The Kit) is an uninterrupted listening party for curious ears, filled with unexpected meetings, joyous fusions and the kind of sounds that knock your preconceptions off-centre and then bring you back, thirsty for more.
This latest instalment of the long-running series is hosted – as always – by BBC Radio 3’s Elizabeth Alker and features the BBC Concert Orchestra conducted by André de Ridder.
But that’s the only stable element in an evening that brings together the US-based poet, musician and activist Moor Mother, the collaborative sounds of Cambridge-based contemporary folk outsiders Modern Nature, and This Is The Kit, fronted by the inimitable, irrepressible Kate Stables, with her candid, tonal embraces.
How does that sound? There’s only one way to find out: be there.
