JAMES YORKSTON + King Creosote
(Tue 1st Feb / 8pm / £6)

A double bill of homespun acoustic magic from two captivating performers.
Back in October James Yorkston & the Athletes wowed the Cube with their seductive whisper of accordian, banjo and James’s hushed hangover tones. Now James returns for a stripped down solo set to launch the new single
‘Shipwreckers’, out now on Domino. Recalling the likes of Bert Jansch and John Martyn, his music remains his own and there’ll rarely be a better chance to enjoy his understated elegies. You’ll be able to hear a pin drop.

James is touring with another member of the thriving Fence Collective: King Creosote, a bashful and embittered troubadour with ramshackle lo-fi folk to share.
