Rogue's Gallery Concerts in Dublin, Gateshead and London
Teddy will be taking part in HAL WILLNER'S ROGUES GALLERY, three multi-artist concerts in Dublin on July 18th, Gateshead, UK on July 24th and London Barbican on July 28th. Based on an extraordinary recent CD release featuring Nick Cave, Sting, Jarvis Cocker, Rufus Wainwright, Bono and others, these concerts feature contemporary re-workings of traditional sea songs and chanteys. Expect songs about drinking, women, death, nasty crimes on the water and of course pirates... funny, beautiful and sad songs. Produced by maverick genius Hal Willner (known for his tribute records, covering the music of Thelonious Monk, Kurt Weill and Harold Arlen), the idea for Rogue's Gallery germinated on the set of the second Pirates of the Caribbean movie, with actor Johnny Depp and director Gore Verbinski. Some of the artists performing at these concerts besides Teddy, include LOU REED, / MARTHA WAINWRIGHT / JARVIS COCKER / WATERSON:CARTHY / GAVIN FRIDAY / DAVID THOMAS (PERE UBU) / JULIE FOWLIS / BABY GRAMPS / ED HARCOURT / RACHEL UNTHANK & THE WINTERSET....
