About this Event
Dan Lyons is a songwriter. He cut his teeth as a founding member and drummer London’s infamous enfant terribles Fat White Family, and has since gone on to perform with countless musicians and bands including: The Brian Jonestown Massacre, La Femme, LuvCat to name a few. He is currently in Lawrence (Felt)’s Mozart Estate. He has released records under his own name, toured the Europe with his band The Tenants and is currently working on his third solo LP, conjuring and recording performances due to appear on the debut album for his as-of- yet-unnamed new project under the influence of producer/engineer Nicolas Vernhes (Deerhunter/Silver Jews). On this tour he will be performing new material written in Paris during the heatwave of 2026 and songs from his first two records.
Body Orchestra is the current incarnation of Vincent C Smith - a multi disciplinary musician from London. After graduating from Trinity Laban, he worked as a session man providing horns for various bands including Texas, Fat Dog, Fat White Family, Martin Carthy and Pet Deaths. Body Orchestra is his creative project. Performing on this tour with bowed guitar and voice, his songs are both haunting and startling in their honesty. Through effortless mastery, Smith explores improvisation, decomposing themes from folk, classical, jazz and pop music and songwriting with an emphasis on experimentation. Body Orchestra's upcoming EP, DANSE MACABRE presents songs of heartbreak, loneliness and occasional nursery rhyme.

If the regular ticket price is beyond what you feel able to afford for whatever reason, please don't hesitate to email us at [email protected] and we will do everything we can to help, no questions asked.
Due to the historic nature of the ship, we’re sorry to say there is not currently step-free access into the theatre space.
