DODO – “Aural acid candyfloss” MixMag – The victorian astronaut has been left stranded on the planet, longing to be reunited with the heavens. A lonely figure in a purple smoking jacket and heavy riveted brass helmet, he reclines in a worn leather armchair. His days are spent yearning for astro travel. His nights drag endlessly as he wonders if his only companion, a dodo, is real or man made… “The oddly slinky, hypnotic effect of these tunes endures – seductive, warm, textured ambient electronica.” Bearded Magazine

As a special treat this month Katy Carr will be screening her “Kazik and the Kommander’s Car” documentary as part of the evening’s entertainment.
Kazik’s Story – Kazimierz Piechowski was transported to Auschwitz on the 20th June 1940 for being a Polish scout, then considered part of the Polish Intelligentsia. Exactly two years later, at midday on Saturday June 20th 1942, Kazik escaped from the Nazi concentration camp. He masterminded his way out with three other political prisoners, disguised in SS uniforms, and by appropriating a Steyr 220 car belonging to Rudolf Höss, the then
Commandant of the death camp. Kazik is the only one now left from the four friends who made the escape, who can tell us first hand what happened.
Upon discovering Kazik’s story, songwriter Katy Carr wrote a tribute song,
‘Kommander’s Car,’ from the point of view of Kazik, narrating the last do-or-die 80 metres of his break for freedom. Katy felt compelled to share this song with Kazik, and her meeting with Kazik in Poland has been captured in a short documentary, ‘Kazik and the Kommander’s Car’, directed by Hannah Lovell.
