Edwyn Collins

Soothing sounds from a Scottish singer

Edwyn Collins

When: MON, September 30, 8pm–11pm
Where: WUK
Entry: 40€, buy a ticket

In the mid-90s you couldn’t walk into a bar without hearing Edwyn Collins’ hit ‘A Girl Like You’. Since then, the Scottish musician has had quite a life, suffering a stroke which effectively deleted the contents of his mind and where he could only utter two sentences. One of these was ‘The Possibilities are Endless,’  which is also the title of a documentary about what happened to him. Luckily, for anyone with ears, he recovered from this and has continued to make beautiful music. Go along and treat those pointy things on the side of your head.

Recommended if you like: hearing that no one’s ever met anyone quite like you before, Rock, Indie music, SINGER/SONGWRITER music, living legends, the grungy, industrial setting of the WUK, ever so cooly closing your eyes and listening to the music
