Dan Lyons x Body Orchestra, AM Shanley + Michael Mormecha

An evening of songwriting from stalwarts of the UK underground Dan Lyons is a songwriter who cut his teeth as a founding member and drummer for London’s infamous enfant terribles, Fat White Family. Since then, he has performed with countless musicians and bands, including The Brian Jonestown Massacre, La Femme, Misty Miller, LuvCat, and Asha Lorenz from the band Sorry. He is currently playing in Lawrence’s band, Mozart Estate. Lyons has released two records under his own name and toured the UK and Europe with his backing band, The Tenants. He is currently working on his third solo LP while tracking performances for the debut album of an unnamed new project, which is being produced and engineered by Nicolas Vernhes. On this tour, he will perform a mixture of new material written in Paris during the heatwave of 2026, alongside songs from his first two records adapted for an intimate acoustic guitar setting. Body Orchestra is the current solo project and brainchild of Vincent Curson Smith, a multidisciplinary musician based in London. After graduating from Trinity Laban with a degree in jazz, he worked as a session musician providing horns for various acts, including Texas, Fat Dog, Fat White Family, Martin Carthy, and Pet Deaths. Performing on this tour with a bowed electric guitar and vocals, Curson Smith delivers haunting and startlingly honest songs. Through effortless mastery, he explores improvisation by decomposing themes from folk, classical, jazz, and classic pop music with a heavy emphasis on sonic experimentation. His set features songs of heartbreak, loneliness, and the occasional nursery rhyme, all performed by a truly great musician and composer.
