Beak> practice

Beak> are - true to form, shamefully - a very belated discovery on my part, largely thanks to reviewing duties for fourth album >>>> earlier this year. Stupendously good at Green Man in August, they pitched up at Clwb last week to kick off what will be drummer/chief comedian Geoff Barrow's farewell tour. On that evidence, I sincerely hope that the remaining two members, Billy Fuller and Will Young, keep going with someone else behind the kit; it would be gutting if Barrow's departure spells the end of the band as a whole.
