Doors 7:30pm Show 8:00pm
Esteemed spoken word artist Joshua Idehen and innovative producer Ludvig Parment are set to tour the UK with their acclaimed new EP, Mum Does the Washing.
Known for fusing deeply personal, evocative poetry with entrancing indie-dance rhythms, Idehen and Parment have crafted a live performance that is equal parts rave and (secular) sermon—a show that, according to Louder Than War, is “an experience everyone needs to witness.”
The title track of Mum Does the Washing has been turning heads across the music industry, earning high praise from major tastemakers, including Jamz Supernova and Huw Stephens (BBC Radio 6), Nick Grimshaw, (BBC Radio 1), and even pop icon Robbie Williams. The EP has become a sensation among critics, further cementing Idehen and Parment as powerful voices in the UK’s indie music scene.
