Guy Chambers presents an evening to join him in his world of songwriting over a 40 year career. While playing arrangements of songs he has written over the years, including such classics as ‘Angels’ and ‘Feel’, he will tell the stories behind these songs in his own unique way. He will also share hilarious anecdotes spanning his early years as a sideman in Aztec Camera, The Waterboys, World Party, and his own band, The Lemon Trees. A lyric will be written (and signed!) and a video is made of the performance that is shared on his social media channels. Watch and marvel as a new composition is created right before your eyes!
