Drifting and Tilting - The Songs of Scott Walker
Featuring Damon Albarn, Dot Allison, Jarvis Cocker, Gavin Friday, Michael Henry & Nigel Richards
13 - 15 November 2008 / 19:45
Barbican Theatre

For tickets and more information -
http://www.barbican.org.uk/music/event-detail.asp?id=7638

A stunning cast of vocalists, musicians and dancers bring music from Scott Walker's seminal albums The Drift and Tilt to life in an extraordinary world-premiere production; Drifting and Tilting - The Songs of Scott Walker.

This thrilling song-cycle will be set and designed for the Barbican Theatre stage, with music performed by a 42 piece string orchestra playing alongside Walker's band.

Once his songs are recorded, Walker famously never listens to them again, preferring to leave the moment of creation untouched and never re-visited...

Don't miss this unique opportunity to experience the theatrical intensity of Walker's music in what promises to be one of the major musical events of 2008.

Hear hear! I'll even book the venue and do the promoting for free if you guys bring the whole show over. Hell, I'll even throw in SF for old times sake.

Excellent! I suppose it's too much to hope that this would ever come to the States. :(

If the show at The Barbican is a success, is there any chance of it going on tour? I hope so, because it's great idea.

I've been excited since I heard the news that this event was on at the Barbican. I'm even more excited now that I know that Jarvis is performing, and Damon Albarn as well.

Can life get any better!!

I'm only going twice.

Do you like Jaques Brel? Marc Almond and Scott Walker have dome some wonderful versions of his songs. I bet its great covering one of those songs....
