Robyn Hitchcock
Friday 18 October, Sage Two, 8pm
Robyn Hitchcock is one of England’s most enduring contemporary singer/songwriters and live performers.
Since founding the art-rock band The Soft Boys in 1976, Robyn has recorded more than 20 albums as well as starred in Storefront Hitchcock, an in-concert film recorded in New York, directed by Jonathan Demme.
Blending folk and psychedelia with a wry British nihilism, Robyn describes his songs as paintings you can listen to.

The Tallest Man On Earth
Monday 04 November, Sage One, 7.30pm
On April 19th, 2019, The Tallest Man On Earth will release his first album in four years. I Love You. It’s A Fever Dream was written, produced and engineered by Kristian Matsson and was recorded almost entirely in his apartment in Brooklyn, NY.
In recent years, Matsson has undertaken single oriented projects that incorporate writing, producing and self-releasing songs and videos in regular intervals, often with purposefully intense deadlines. He’s described finding inspiration in the entire process, and in particular in the satisfaction of making something and having it out quickly. For listeners and viewers the fascination has been in watching an artist work through his life, in problems and celebrations large and small, putting his thoughts out into the world while he’s still processing them himself and watching them evolve over time.
