Malborough Village Hall
Saturday 7th June 2008
Legendary rock band Curved Air will be performing in Malborough early next month.
The group, which originally formed in 1969, are scheduled to play a concert in the village hall on Saturday 7 June.
The gig sees iconic vocalist Sonja Kristina teaming up again with other founding members Darryl Way and Florian Pilkington Miksa.
In their early days, Curved Air were a groundbreaking progressive art-rock band renowned for the showmanship of individual musicians.
Each member pushed the boundaries of possibilities for rock music performance; Darryl Way, with his flamboyant virtuoso exploration of electric violin, Francis Monkman's brilliant innovative sound manipulation of synthesizers and fiery intricate guitar playing, and Florian's expressive approach to rock drumming.
Vocalist Sonja Kristina won the hearts of a generation of music lovers and was voted top British Female Vocalist of the 70's.
Three top twenty albums that this lineup released are generally regarded as classics, with Back Street Luv reaching the UK top ten singles chart.
Of the reunion, Darryl, who lives in South Huish, said: "I'm very excited to be back performing with Sonja and Florian again and looking forward to meeting up with our old fans and maybe creating some new ones along the way."
As for future plans, he continued: "Curved Air in the early 70s was very much at the cutting edge in the use of new technologies for the production of music, such as synths and sequences.
"Since that time, music technology has developed and matured in almost unimaginable ways, so it's going to be really exciting and great fun to come back after all these years and have so many new toys to play with."
Curved Air will also be playing at the Isle of Wight Festival on June 13.
Tickets for the Malborough gig cost £20 and are available from www.curvedair.com or from the Royal Oak in Malborough. Doors open at 7.30pm.
