On 2nd November, 2009 The Housekeeping Society played their first public gig. Given that the new material mainly tells the story of the son of a Victorian Mill owner it seemed appropriate firstly to be playing in the Victorian model village of Saltaire, and secondly to be playing at the opening of an exhibition of contemporary fashion and fabric based art.
Magic Number Three, was full in equal measure of familiar faces and some new would-be devotees to progressive folk pop. The set contained three of the new songs plus classics from Ric and Spencer’s recent work. Given that probably no more than an hour of collective rehearsal had gone into the new songs they felt good to play and half an hour flashed by.
In conclusion, Saltaire’s fashionistas are clearly not fazed by the odd nine minute prog folk odyssey. Where will the Society strike next?
