Steven Milne Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 THE LEMON TREE PRESENTS..SATURDAY 15TH OCTOBERBILL WELLS + AIDAN MOFFAT7.30PM10.00TICKETS:THE LEMON TREE LOUNGE : Productions : Bill Wells & Aidan MoffatSome partnerships just work, even if it takes time. Eight years in the making, Everythings Getting Older, the debut album by Aidan Moffat and Bill Wells, is a special thing, full of gorgeous, jazz-inflected love songs fleshed out with a mixture of spoken word pieces and vocals delivered in Aidan's distinctive rhotic singing voice.Wells is the Scottish multi-instrumentalist, composer, leader of the Bill Wells Octet and collaborator with The Pastels, Isobel Campbell, Future Pilot AKA and many more. Moffat is a man of many projects, whether his solo material released under his full name Aidan John Moffat, his band Aidan Moffat & the Best-Ofs or, in a former life, his experimental work as L Pierre, Lucky Pierre and his long history as one half of iconic Scots duo Arab Strap.The pair first met back in Moffats Arab Strap days in predictably a pub, when Aidan and bandmate Malcolm Middleton invited Bill to play piano on their Monday At The Hug & Pint album. Its then that the duo first started work on Everythings Getting Older, recording first single, (If You) Keep Me In Your Heart, in 2003. Having resolved to make an album, it was to be a long time in the making.The songs they came up with over that considerable period of time began taking on a theme: aging, and within it freedom, fatherhood and responsibility. Written by bouncing files back and forth, with some ideas fleshed out at the East Kilbride Arts Centre, the album was recorded at Chem 19 in Blantyre and Ca Va in Glasgow.

geo1903 Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I often play a `guess the local support` game in my head. But I never get it right, ever. So I won't suggest The Lorelei. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
