When Jayne told me bout the Music Painter, I pictured this old man alone on a stage painting landscapes with classical music playing gently in the background. Wow was I happily wrong!! I somehow stumbled along Kilford's Facebook page and immediately booked tickets for his next gig...ONE LOVE #8!
Basically Kilford paints with his fingers and sketches what he hears. He sees colours when he hears music! He sets himself up on the stage alongside various bands and artists during their gigs and delivers the most original and inspiring art feat. music show ever!!
We had the privilege of seeing him sketch to an amazing Indie band called Vices and a Hip hop/rap/rock/electro duo Akala.
He has a Chewits Tuesday completion [check it out on FB] and Jayne won the week before this gig...I won't be repeating how she won it but she managed to arrange an interview with Kilford. So we got to meet and chat to him before the gig and I was really happy to hear that he had worked with South African Fashion Designer Gavin Rajah at the Aids Fundraising event Positive unites artists against Aids at Sun City!!
I'm super excited to still be in London for One Love #9...tickets are booked...watch this space!!
And here's another taster....
