A night of Acoustic music with social distancing rules in place.
Featuring - Vesu + Moonfield + Tootawl
@ The Spice of Life
6 Moor Street
Soho
London

The Spice of Life is a Soho landmark, historic music venue and is in the heart of London's West End.
Renowned for having a great live sound The Spice of Life and Substance have worked together for over 10 years to bring the very best new music to the heart of the capital.
We are ready to present a show at the Spice of Life with social distancing in place. We have come up with a format and lots of procedures we think will work and be safe for all.
It involves selling blocks of tickets as everyone would be allotted a table. The tables will be sold in groups of 2's, 4's and 6's and can only be booked online. This allows you to book in advance as a couple or a group of friends. We have reduced our capacity in order to keep everyone safe and seating will be limited.
Be prepared to use hand sanitiser on arrival, and on leaving and returning to the room. You are more than welcome to wear facials coverings, masks or bandanas...

Tootawl
During summer 2014, a young Irish troubadour named Richard O? Gorman found himself in Nashville, Tennessee performing his bustling brand of indie/folk in such famous venues as The Bluebird.
Standing at six foot five, he was christened ?too tawl? in typical Tennessee twang. The name stuck like glue and upon his arrival home with this new title he began working on material for his debut EP. Mainly taking inspiration from artists like Bob Dylan, The Beatles and also older blues musicians such as Blind Willie McTell, Tootawl mixes this strong sense of musical tradition with his own unique folk style.
Since his time in Tennessee, Tootawl has supported Aslan in their sold out gig in Cork Opera House and Ham Sandwich at the Bandon Music Festival, and supported Bagatelle on their farewell tour to name a few.
Tootawl recorded his debut EP with producer Christian Best (Mick Flannery, Jack O' Rourke) at Monique Studios which received widespread national radio airplay, and toured extensively (London, Berlin, Edinburgh, San Francisco & Los Angeles). He also had the title track of this EP played in an episode of the Netflix original series 'You Me Her'.
In November of 2017, Tootawl has just released his second EP, Twist Of Paranoia, which has received national radio airplay in Ireland and the US, and is in preparation to record his first full length LP this year.
