Dot Allison performs at Some Velvet Evening
Scottish chanteuse, Dot Allison, who recently released her acclaimed solo album, Exaltation of Larks, has announced that she will be performing at a one-off tribute to Lee Hazlewood, who died in August after a long battle with cancer. The event, which is called Some Velvet Evening, will take place at The Social, 5 Little Portland Street, London on Monday 29th October. Admission is free.
Allison will perform a number of her favourite Hazlewood songs, alongside other bands and artists including Strange Idols, The Tamborines, The Left Outsides and some very special guests who will be revealed on the night.
As well as the live music, a selection of films, including the rarely seen 'Cowboy In Sweden? and an intimate and poignant video of Lee?s 78th birthday party, recorded just three weeks before his death, will be shown. In addition, Hazlewood?s last ever recording, a heartbreakingly beautiful collaboration with Icelandic quartet and Sigur R?s collaborators Amiina will be premiered.
Over the years, she has collaborated and performed with a number of other artists including Massive Attack who invited her to join their collective as both a songwriter and singer, and Pete Doherty, who she co-headlined with on his Bilo Albion acoustic tour. Allison has also completed recordings with Bobby Gillespie and Paul Weller for future projects.
