The one and only, Viv Albertine will be performing an intimate, solo show at Dulcimer as part of the weekender, and we can't wait!

Viv's influential and original band, The Slits, are cited as an inspiration for acts as diverse as The Beastie Boys, Tricky and Massive Attack as well as a current crop of musicians including Warpaint, and The Vivian Girls. Before The Slits, Viv was in legendary band, The Flowers of Romance with Sid Vicious.

After 25 years away from music, Viv released her first solo album, 'The Vermillion Border' in 2012. The album features a renowned bass player on each track, and even reunites Viv with Mick Jones of The Clash who plays on, 'Confessions of a MILF'.

The Viv Albertine story now encompasses Art, Film, and Writing. She has collaborated with Turner Prize nominated artists, Fiona Banner and Liam Gillick; has the lead role in the forthcoming Joanna Hogg movie, to be released mid-2013; and is writing her memoirs, Clothes, Clothes, Clothes, Music, Music, Music, Boys, Boys, Boys, to be published by Faber and Faber in 2014.
