I’m really happy to be playing a couple of songs before a screening of the new Elliott Smith documentary Heaven Adores You on Friday 29th May at The Ultimate Picture Palace, Oxford. I am a BIG Elliott Smith smith fan so I’m genuinely pretty honoured to be playing. Also playing are the fantastic Salvation Bill and Reichenbach Falls.
Check out the trailer below then go get tickets from here.
5 years ago, Elliott Smith died. His death is probably the only ‘celebrity’ death where I can say I know exactly where I was and what I was doing when I found out (putting out CDs in hight street ‘music retailer’). For better or for worse, he was is one of my favourite song writers and his music has meant a lot to me over the years. Here’s a short article from the LAist on his life from SPIN.com on the circumstances leading up to his death.
Cheers for the music Elliott.
