Event information

When we heard that the legendary Daniel Higgs was playing a handful of dates in Europe the debate started - do we go to London? Glasgow? Prague? Then it hit us - Lets Do the Show Right Here! So in the interests of keeping our carbon footprint low, a United Nations of music lovers from Rammel Club, Damn You!, Clique Clack and Kneel, Sir have joined forces to bring him to Nottingham. We are all really beside ourselves with excitement about this one - come along and find out why.

What can we say about Daniel Higgs? The ex-Lungfish legend and his banjo returns to the UK after his jaw-dropping 2-disc release on Thrill Jockey last year, Say God - a record that is spare, spacious and quite possibly his most transcendental record to date.
After 11 albums (10 for the esteemed Dischord), Lungfish seemed to grind to a halt in 2005 following the release of Feral Hymns. Simultaneously, Higgs' solo activities took off, leading to his series of hypnotising outsider excursions for Holy Mountain, Thrill Jockey and others.
Higgs is renowned as a hypnotising and charismatic live presence with a ferociously ardent following. If you haven't caught the Higgs bug yet, get yourself to one of these rare and sporadic shows and feel it all fall into place.
Daniel Higgs will be backed by Ram Gabay on drums.

Rosie Rojo is a Nottingham-based singer-songwriter who famously recorded 90 songs in 90 days. That she brought such grand arrangements and experimentalism to the process makes this an act of 8-track DIY heroism and we look forward to seeing how she translates them live.
