Drawing Rooms Live Acoustic Special: Simon Townshend

EVENT INFORMATION

We are delighted to welcome the truly extraordinary musician, Simon Townshend for an evening of words and music.

Simon, a multi instrumentalist and song writer, was born with music in his blood being the son of England’s top big-band reed man, Cliff Townshend and also the younger brother of The Who legend Pete Townshend. He has been recording and performing since the age of nine, when he was recruited to add vocals to The Who classic ‘Tommy’.

Although the Townshend name is familiar, Simon’s music has its own original sound and his song writing, plunders great depths and reruns with unique compelling narratives set against haunting melodies.

In addition to his own music, Simon has been guitarist and vocalist in The Who since 1996, playing sold out tours around the world, including monumental performances at the 2010 Super Bowl and the closing ceremonies of the 2012 London Olympics.

Simon will be chatting with the renowned music journalist and MOJO magazine writer, Pat Gilbert.
