UNPLUGGED - V'ghn & Skinny Fabulous

Soca stripped back. Two of the Caribbean's biggest voices, one mic, one room in central London for one night only.

Most soca lives at 4am in a crowd of ten thousand. This one doesn't.

Up-Close puts V'ghn and Skinny Fabulous on two stools, in front of one microphone, in an intimate room in central London, no barricade, no distance. Just the songs you already know by heart, played close enough to hear the breath between the lines.

Grenada meets St. Vincent. Two Soca Monarch-calibre voices, acoustic, for one night.

What to expect:

• An intimate performance — think MTV Unplugged, in Soca

• Stripped-back versions of songs from both catalogues, including material from their collaboration

• Live acoustic instrumentation, no backing tracks

• Conversation between the songs — how the records were actually made

• Strictly limited capacity

This is for die-hard fans who want the version of these songs nobody has heard yet, and people who work in music and want to see two of the region's best writers with the production stripped away.

Doors 7pm, Performance 8pm, Curfew 11pm

Yes, it's a Tuesday. That's deliberate — it keeps the room small and the people in it serious.
