Demand for Alison Moyet’s ‘Songs of Yazoo, the minutes & Other’ tour has been huge. 20 shows across the UK and Ireland sold out within days, as did nights in Gothenburg, Copenhagen, Brussels and Amsterdam, with many others set to follow in the near future. Responding to that phenomenal public demand, Alison now adds a further ten shows including a second night in London to close the tour, this time at O2 Shepherds Bush Empire on November 23rd.
The tour will consist exclusively of songs from the Yazoo catalogue and select tracks from her solo electronica albums ‘the minutes’ and ‘Other’.
While a handful of Yazoo hits are staples of Alison’s live sets, much of the band’s material has rarely been performed outside of their two brief tours (their 1982 breakthrough and their 2008 ‘Reconnected’ reunion). This is a unique opportunity to experience songs live that propelled their phenomenal yet short-lived run, which encompassed the seminal album ‘Upstairs At Eric’s’ (certified Platinum in both the UK and US) and their parting release ‘You And Me Both’ (#1 in the UK).
Additionally, the tour will also feature select songs from Alison’s critically lauded solo LPs ‘the minutes’ (2013) and ‘Other’ (2017). Both albums, produced by and predominantly co-written with Guy Sigsworth, were emphatically received as triumphant creative returns to electronica making them the perfect partners for this tour.
Alison says, “Many years touring the same pool of songs and I am keen for a palate refresher. Specifying which years I will be fishing from too, I think is a grand way to serve pot luck for specific tastes. No bones…”
