AgustÌ Fern·ndez & Mats Gustafsson
Tolbooth Auditorium, 7.30pm
To open this year’s festival something with power and delicacy. Two of the most sought after players on the scene today. Mats Gustafsson is a friend of Le Weekend playing here in different guises and also helping and advising the festival. Best known for his unsettlingly beautiful guttural power riffs in the band The Thing’s noise funk, Gustafsson’s playing graces an incomparable number of situations most recently turning up in The Ex’s brass section, Brass Unbound. His compassion for the human condition pours through his music. . AgustÌ Fern·ndez is the perfect foil to Gustafsson. Blindingly articulate across all of the surfaces of the piano he too has worked with a myriad of players from Parker & Bailey to Butch Morris & Peter Kowald, lending every situation an incomparable beauty.
