The Take Away Shows
The Take Away Shows are a collection of improvised short performances which film bands in spontaneous settings such as squeezed into a candlelit cafe or singing while walking the streets of Paris. Often what begins as a slightly awkward performer not quite sure of what the filmmakers are asking gives way to the musician caught up in the moment of playing and what emerges as a strong thread throughout the Take Away Shows is the films manage to catch the incredible joy that comes from making music.
