Description

Willy Mason is returning on tour to Europe in 2025. Since 2020 Willy has been touring with increasing regularity, steadily honing his live sound and playing.

His band includes Charlotte Anne Dole on drums (Cymbals Eat Guitars, Hammydown, Cult Objects, Empty Country) and Farley Glavin on bass (The Lemonheads, Killer Motorcycle). The trio have a tight and dynamic sound that allow them to easily move between all phases of Willy?s catalogue faithfully, with high energy and care. Willy has been steadily adding new songs to his shows. He is currently in the studio working on new recordings for an album.

Willy?s dark yet uplifting songs have endured and evolved for two decades. He is in yet another new phase, emboldened and galvanized by experience. This tour and accompanying album will be a culmination of his post pandemic work.

?I want to provide people with places where they can emote and move freely, in safety,? says Willy. ?To feel connected with each other and experience the strength in that. Performance allows me to create and inhabit these places.

?A lot of my new songs seem to be about love and perseverance. I?ve come to realise that songs can have the ability to conjure things, so I think this is a good thing.?

AGE RESTRICTION: This is a 10+ show. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.

PLEASE NOTE: The ticket price includes a £1 venue levy
