Gillian Welch to support Bright Eyes: a magical pairing

Gillian Welch, poignant interpreter/curator of the best of Americana and Conor Oberst (aka Bright Eyes) are two of the most brilliant stars in the grown-up musical firmament.

Outstanding, wholly original abums, staggeringly strong gigs... you get the picture.

Now they plan to do a series of double-header concerts in the US in April/May, culminating in a seven night run in New York’s fabled Town Hall on 25 May-1 June.

Oh to be in Manhattan in early summer!
