The Flightpath And The Lion

On Saturday 16th November The Golden Lion in Todmorden hosted another ALFOS, the long running travelling cosmic disco started by Andrew Weatherall and Sean Johnston in 2010, now flown single handedly by Sean. The Golden Lion is one of A Love From Outer Space's spiritual homes and a capacity crowd is guaranteed. The upstairs room hosted a pair of live performances, Psychederek and The Thief Of Time (both of whom I saw play at Yard in Manchester in the summer and asked to play at the Lion by landlord Waka following my post about the gig). Downstairs, from 2pm through until Sean taking over at 8.30, saw the return of The Flightpath Estate DJ team- myself, Martin, Dan, Mark and Baz. Due to being required in Birmingham early the day after Baz went first and played for an hour. After he'd finished his set the remaining four of us rotated playing three tracks each for the next five hours. 

You can listen to a re- creation of our set at Mixcloud, six hours of music starting with Billy Fury's Wondrous Place and finishing with a very unofficial and unreleased edit of The Fall, Blind Panic, by Skip Wimbish that Mark actually played twice. We had planned to record the set live but the gear let us down. Instead the version of the set you can hear is a fairly faithful recreation of what we played but with a couple of unreleased things swapped out for legal/ release date reasons. As ever we had a blast and are eternally grateful every time we play for the opportunity. This time around, the Lion began to fill up fairly early so we actually had an audience too. And to everyone who told how much they enjoyed our sets, thank you. After us, Sean came on and lifted the Lion's roof.
