About the show
Night River Presents: David Thomas Broughton + Sylvie Grey
David Thomas Broughton returns with a rare trio performance.
One of the most distinctive and unpredictable figures in British folk and experimental music, Broughton’s songs move between intimacy, humour, improvisation and abstraction. No two performances are quite the same.
Fresh from an appearance at End of the Road Festival, Broughton continues to build his cult reputation through performances that blur the boundaries between song, spontaneity and performance art.
Opening the evening is Sylvie Grey, a songwriter with a gift for stopping a room in its tracks.
“Broughton’s live shows are miniature spectacles. He layers sounds in slightly haphazard ways, as though his songs weren’t so holy that he couldn’t subject them to chance.” – Pitchfork
“The most brilliant and baffling show I’m likely to see this year.” – Time Out New York
“Straddling the line between music hall turn and avant-garde performance artist, Broughton’s live show is not to be missed.” – MOJO
Please note this is an 18+ all standing event, and the venue is accessed by stairs with no lift. If you have any enquiries please email thetreehouse@cheeseandgrain.com
Featuring - David Thomas Broughton
Walls of noise and layers of beauty interweave and delight at every turn. Many people use loops these days. Broughton includes the glitches, mistakes, resulting in a dose of comedy in his act. 'Remarkable, like a timeless classic'- angryape.com.
