Willard Grant Conspiracy

Willard Grant Conspiracy return to Europe for 3 live dates in November.

On the 11th and 12th, they will be taking to the stage at the Crescent Arts Centre, Belfast, for an evening of music and spoken word. The spoken word element will be provided by Loose’s favourite rock ‘n’ roll crime fiction writer, Ian Rankin. According to the event page, WGC’s Robert Fisher “will also be incorporating a visual element to this concert… a premiere for Belfast.” Highly likely that both nights will be selling out pretty soon, so go secure your tickets HERE.

Alternatively, if you’ll happen to be in Munich on November 19th, make sure you get yourself down to Südstadt for Willard Grant Conspiracy and The (Fabulous? Incredible?) Moonband‘s “Second Annual Show”.

Here’s a little extract from last week’s Guardian, mentioning Robert Fisher‘s appearance on The Bandwidth Sessions;

“There are two things that mark Belfast’s wonderful Bandwidth Sessions out from the many other live session websites out there. First, you can download all of their sessions free from bandwidthsessions.com, or by subscribing to their video podcast on iTunes at bit.ly/bwitunes. And, second, they’re not restricted to filming all their sessions in the same studio, taxi or bandstand. Best of all, Willard Grant Conspiracy’s Robert Fisher did his surrounded by some tough-looking kids on Belfast’s backstreets. It’s amazing to see them wowed into silence by the alt-country singer’s softly powerful performance.” (Full article here).
