18.09.26. 8–11pm. JOHN BUTCHER & ANGHARAD DAVIES. John hasn’t played Edinburgh since the 80’s! Angharad is a regular visitor to our city but her last Edinburgh show was a little documented show in Firas’s living room 10 years ago to audience of 4. Well, it’s time to change all that and bring these Cafe OTO regulars to Edinburgh’s brightest cafe stage. Butcher and Davies have been crossing paths since the early 2000s — largely through the Common Objects collective — but only started performing as a committed duo a handful of times before recording Two Seasons last year. This is still early days for this duo, which is exactly what makes it so exciting… Here’s a snippet to keep you going until the show https://johnbutcher1.bandcamp.com/album/two-seasons (there’s a review below) FRITZ WELCH & FIRAS KHNAISSER. Put one half of Hexacaikadecagon and one half of Off Brand and what do you get? But is that even an accurate description of what our beloved Houstonian and your resident Beiruti could be cooking up for this TFEH audience? Only time will tell… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVsVshM6pOI&t=1297s This show is a collaboration with 1.5 Months in Glasgow https://www.instagram.com/1point5months/
Not the same tradition as the lineage above — a genuinely different thread to pull, if you want one.
