Tfeh Presents: John Butcher & Angharad Davies / Fritz Welch & Firas Khnaisser

TFEH presents: JOHN BUTCHER & ANGHARAD DAVIES / FRITZ WELCH & FIRAS KHNAISSER .JOHN BUTCHER & ANGHARAD DAVIES.
John hasn't played Edinburgh since the '80s! 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 (theres a review below)FRITZ WELCH & FIRAS KHNAISSER.

Fruitmarket, 45 Market St., Edinburgh.Ben Rose from Foxy Digitalis reviews the Davies / Butcher duo:"Violin and saxophone duets emerge from small cracks in the surface of the earth on Two Seasons, Angharad Davies and John Butcher entwining two quite different sonic fields with methodic precision. Theres something organic about their tonal excursions, fleeting moments captured and flickering spectacles drawn out intobreath and fracture. Extended techniques hang in dead air, wondering if they should fall apart, each musician listening so intently that silence becomes as vital as sound. The duo creates intimate sonic exchanges where a single note or gesture can redirect an entire passage, a testament to years of crossing paths and understanding each others musical language."Fruitmarket is fully accessible.Wed much prefer if you bought tickets in advance online.If there are still tickets available we will accept payments at the door, but these will only bein CASH, as we are Steam Age galoots who are unable to process card transactions.If youre short on funds let us know, we can make it happen.Be responsible: If youfeel unwell, please stay at home or, at least, be considerate of folks in the venue by masking up, sanitising yr paws regularly, and generally not being a radge.www.gianttank.bandcamp.comwww.gianttankeh.tumblr.comhttps://linktr.ee/gianttank
