Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn

Info

On May 26, 2027, Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn bring their Everything But The Girl universe to Albert Hall, Manchester for an intimate, seated show that plays with contrasts: part acoustic, part electronic. Long associated with that distinctive blend of pop songwriting, jazz-tinged delicacy and later dancefloor intelligence, the duo revisits a catalogue built over four decades, moving between early minimalist warmth and the sleeker, club-aware side that shaped their later years.

On stage, they stretch the duo format without losing its closeness, joined by Rex Horan on double bass, Evan Jenkins on drums and Blake Watt (Family Stereo) on guitar. Expect songs drawn from Blue Reservoir, alongside key moments from their long careers as both solo artists and as Everything But The Girl, reshaped for a live setting that leaves room for detail, groove, and the quiet weight of Thorn’s voice against Watt’s precise writing and production instincts.
