INSTITUTE OF CONTEMPORARY ART, LONDON, UK

1st - 2nd - 3rd June 2007

TG return to the I.C.A. London (ica.org.uk) for a series of public 'Recording Sessions'.
Tickets are £30 per session (each session will be approximately two hours long) and limited to 140 people per session.
These sessions will be for a seated audience only.
Each ticket holder will receive a special limited edition poster commemorating their attendance of these sessions.


Sessions will be at 12pm (midday) - 2pm and 7pm to 9pm on Friday (1st) and Saturday (2nd).
Sessions for Sunday (3rd ) will be 1pm to 3pm and 4pm to 6pm.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION RE I.C.A. :
THESE SESSIONS ARE NOT GIGS AND WILL NOT CONFORM TO THOSE TRADITIONS.
These sessions follow the previous working method's of TG in the recording of Heathen Earth (1980) and also signify TG's return to the I.C.A., the place TG officially launched themselves in October 1976.
TG offer you this chance to observe them in the act of recording in an attempt to demystify the process to a small audience and to TG themselves!
As a guide to those interested in attending, some sessions will be based around improvised musics, other sessions will be more specifically directed towards the recording of 'songs' and some sessions a mixture of both disciplines. Inevitably, due to the nature of these recording sessions there will be periods of necessary internal discussion, musical inactivity and technical fiddling, false starts, tea and toilet breaks may also occur. But these will be kept to a minimum.
These sessions will be filmed and by purchasing a ticket you are granting permission of inclusion in these recordings and subsequent usage.


I.C.A. TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW.
Applications for tickets are EXCLUSIVELY available by email from TGUBERTIX. Please mark the subject box ICA RECORDING SESSION. There is a limit of two tickets per email address.
Tickets are NOT available via the I.C.A. Box Office.

SPECIAL MESSAGE TO THE DENIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

TG have received many imploring communications to perform in the USA during this year of pronounced activity and have extensively researched the possibilities at all levels of Arts & Music and can unfortunately find no circumstance that meets TG's various criteria. It is not envisaged that this situation will change and the above events present a near complete schedule of TG's activities for 2007, the only year the individual members of TG are commited to a public existence. Those of you that live and work in the USA may have to consider a trip to Europe should you wish to see TG live.

TG HEALTH WARNING:
Please bear in mind that both Cosey Fanni Tutti and Genesis Breyer P- Orridge continue to have long term, serious and restrictive health problems that consequently necessitate limitations to their art & musical activities regarding both TG and their various solo and collaborative artistic lives.

TG look forward to seeing you at one of the above events.......
