A Celebration of The Incredible String Band
Southbank Centre, Queen Elizabeth Hall, SE1 8XX , [Venue Details]Join musical friends and collaborators of the legendary band, including founding member Mike Heron, to dive into the discography that won them worldwide acclaim.
Formed by Robin Williamson, Mike Heron and Clive Palmer in 1965, The Incredible String Band offered an otherworldly combination of exotic acoustic instruments, elements borrowed from Indian, North African, Eastern European and American traditional music, and William Blake-ish verse that weighed up the marvel of existence.
Equally revered in the United States, the psychedelic folk band performed at the Newport Folk Festival and Woodstock.
Some 50-odd years on, Williamson and Heron have continued to explore that invisible world in their separate ways. Ever-prolific as musician and painter, Williamson continues to perform as a duo with his wife, singer Bina Williamson, while Heron has maintained his own eclectic solo career, most recently recording and touring with his daughter, musician Georgia Seddon.
Subterranean is a new one-day festival at the Southbank Centre, programmed by Broadside Hacks, Bird on the Wire, Rough Trade Records and Skinty Records, championing the subterranean music and traditions of today.
