This Saturday, 27th February, in a world premiere, Paul J. Abbott and Departure Lounge will perform at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool as part of their Musician's Gallery series. Departure Lounge will invite the Gallery itself to perform, weaving a promenade programmme of the sounds of the Gallery, of its visitors and staff, together with songs and instrumental music through 400 years of imagery.
Visitors can pass through, stop or join in, contributing to the evolving composition with noises, comments, jottings and doodles, leading to a performance that's both fresh and responsive to the vibes and echoes of the building.
The performance includes a new take on the heritage of Northern English traditional song, and also music for King Henry VIII, to be performed in front of Holbein's famous picture of him. This week the performance will be in short segments from 12 noon until 4 pm: come when and for as long as you wish!
Along with some familiar faces, we'll be welcoming our newest Lounger, Helen Temperley, performing on vocals, viola and percussion.
