Byrne's Night

David Byrne’s Night is a genre-defying celebration of two Scottish icons: Robert Burns and David Byrne (born in Dumbarton, look it up!), founded by Dundee native Lola Stephen.What began in 2023 at Hackney’s glittering MOTH Club quickly became one of London’s most talked about live music events, with its debut selling out within days and attracting a four figure waiting list.The concept is simple: supergroups formed from musicians across the indie, punk and experimental scenes and beyond, perform Talking Heads and David Byrne classics and deep cuts, interspersed with recitals of Robert Burns’ poetry.

On paper it sounds completely unhinged.

In practice, it somehow feels like a match made in heaven.
