Admittedly When You Mess Up wouldn't have been top of my list for an alternative versions EP but this is wonderful:

Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn to play live together next month​

Ben and Tracey will play two shows at London’s 200-capacity MOTH club in Hackney next month on Sunday April 6 and Monday April 7.

They will perform as a part-acoustic part-electronic duo accompanied by Rex Horan on double bass, drawing on songs from their 40-year careers as both solo artists and a duo. The events are billed simply as Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn. The venue will be mostly seated with some additional standing. Seats allocated on a first come first served basis.

“We loved making Fuse together in 2022, and we wanted to do something else,” says Ben. “And that slowly turned into a conversation about playing live again.”

“When we pictured how, we realised we didn’t want to play the club bangers or fill a huge arena,” continues Tracey. “We just wanted to play a few songs - some we’d never done before - in a small club. Front room, friends and family vibe. If it goes well we hope to do more."

It must have been decades since they last performed live - I'm not sure Tracey even did anything for her solo material in between the last two EBTG albums, so quite big news!

Seems like they're open to doing a larger-scale tour as well...

Good news. Tracey has freely admitted that stage fright and anxiety have stopped her performing live so I reckon this set up is a way she’s found that she feels relatively comfortable with to trick the mind into breaking herself back in.

OMG. That's 3 days before I land in London as well. What a bastard. But hopefully some content/footage will come out of it...
