Info
Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn, the duo behind Everything But The Girl, continue their residency at MOTH Club in London on 26 October 2026. For this intimate seated performance they appear as a partly acoustic, partly electronic duo, joined by Rex Horan on double bass and Blake Watt of Family Stereo on guitar and vocals. The repertoire draws on forty years of shared and solo songwriting, from early folk-pop numbers to the electronic turns of the 1990s, up to their more recent songs. Thorn deploys her low, resonant timbre and precise songwriting; Watt weaves guitars and electronic textures, buoyed by the supple pulse of the double bass and additional harmonies. The ensemble favors pared-back arrangements, capable of reworking familiar songs as well as opening up deeper avenues.
The evening unfolds in two sets separated by an intermission, with no opening act, allowing the songs and their various versions to circulate. Between acoustic warmth and electronic detail, Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn revisit their shared catalogue and interweave selections from their parallel solo journeys, without unnecessary effects, staying close to the melodies and the words.
