Jack Name (currently on Maple Death Records, previously on Mexican Summer, Castle Face and Drag City Records) and Aoife Nessa Frances (Ba Da Bing Records, Mexican Summer) collaborated remotely on the beautiful 2021 release Watching the Willows Burn and this will be their first time playing together live.
“A lot of our conversations drifted into topics like mysticism and ancient history. We imagined a struggle between a peaceful group of moon-worshipping people and maniacal totalitarian warlords. That sent us down a stream which eventually led to the different things willows can symbolize. It’s interesting how they can stand for purity and nourishment and also grief and death. So what does it mean to watch them burn in the dark? Perhaps a rebirth, whether healing or destroying, depends on who’s watching.” – Jack & Aoife
This is Jack Name's first London show in 10 years!
