BEN WATT
with Rex Horan
Following sell-out shows with his band in 2016, Ben Watt returns for more UK dates in early 2017, this time changing things up with a stripped-back approach. He performs a string of new shows on guitar and piano, accompanied only by double-bassist and current band-member, Rex Horan (Neil Cowley Trio, Laura Marling) who features on Watt's acclaimed recent album 'Fever Dream' (9/10 Uncut, 4/5 Mojo, 4/5 Guardian). The pair successfully road-tested the idea as a duo with shows in Holland and Germany last year.
'I am always looking at new ways to present the songs,' says Watt. 'As a band or solo, as a guitar duo with Bernard Butler or now as a different kind of duo with Rex - I like them all. All bring something different. It keeps it fresh and alive, and allows for newness each night. Rex not only brings great warmth and soul but adds top vocal harmonies too.'
Expect songs and stories from 'Fever Dream' and its award-winning predecessor 'Hendra' (2014) plus selections from Watt's early career as a solo artist and as longstanding writer-performer with Everything But The Girl.
