In his characteristic style, Cleverley promises part 2 of a Christmas compendium for the head-spinning modern age. A brand new selection of songs for the misfits, for those who have a complex relationship with the self, on their own journeys towards finding a place in this perplexing modern age. Songs to celebrate a curious, magical season, in all its joyful and sad contradictions.
Cleverley is honoured to be joined on this special night by an exciting band of guest musicians including Sam Kelly, Kathy Pilkinton & Minnie Birch, with a special opening set from Americana harmony duo ‘Awake Mother’.
