COG DESIGN - CULTURAL CALENDAR (UK)

Cover illustration x the May Cog Night 🖤 - the Cog Design team travelled to Finsbury Park, to the wonderful Park Theatre, to see A Song of Songs, written, directed and starring Ofra Daniel. Michael gives us his thoughts - "This er0t1c biblical text is controversial for many reasons. Not least because it is focused on unmarried lovers, without a moral or religious lesson.

Their sound fused Spanish/Moorish influences (provided by Ramon Ruiz, of the Gypsy Kings, who oozed laid-back professionalism on flamenco guitar) with Jewish traditions (provided by clarinetist Daniel Gouly and klezmer violinist Amy Morwenna Price who really ‘performed’ amongst the action). And a shout-out to Mark McQuillan who was standing in on double bass and did a great job"
