Soca, stripped back
Most soca lives at 4am in a crowd of ten thousand. This one doesn't.
Up-Close puts V'ghn and Skinny Fabulous on two stools, in front of one microphone, in a n intimate room in central London, no barricade, no distance. Just the songs you already know by heart, played close enough to hear the breath between the lines.Grenada meets St. Vincent. Two Soca Monarch-calibre voices, acoustic, for one night.
What to expect·
An intimate performance — think MTV Unplugged, in Soca
· Stripped-back versions of songs from both catalogues, including material from their collaboration
· Live band, no backing tracks
· Conversation between the songs — how the records were actually made
· Strictly limited capacity
Who this is for
Die-hard fans who want the version of these songs nobody has heard yet, and people who work in music and want to see two of the region's best writers with the production stripped away.
