Christian Balvig & Ensemble Hermes - Find And You Will Seek

Written by: Giovanni "Gio" Pilato

The name of Nordic composer, pianist, keyboardist and film scorer Christian Balvig has been for quite some time a big buzz, within not only a classical music field, but also a more pop and rock orientated too, given his recent collaborations with Danish collectives like Efterklang, When Saints Go Machine or Mew, just to mention some of the bands Balvig has been working with.

Often, when going to a live performance, music fans know already what to expect, in terms of songs that are going to be played on stage by a band, the style in which said songs are going to be played and sometimes, even the setlist of the whole show.

Rather fortunately though, this is something that almost never applies to some, especially to the British Dub King and bass guitar Maestro Jah Wobble, performing tonight at the historical Marine Theatre in Lyme Regis, a splendid coastal town in the Southwest of the United Kingdom.
