SINGER songwriter Chris T-T is playing at the Barrels Alehouse in Berwick as part of his nationwide tour on Friday, April 4.


The gig coincides with the recent release of his new album Capital, the third and final part of his London Trilogy.

It features appearances from Jim Bob (Carter USM) and Andy Burrows (Razorlight).

It's preceded by the single A-Z (out now) which has had plays on the XFM Evening Playlist, Steve Lamacq and Huw Stephens, for whom he has just done a Radio 1 Session for.

The album brings the story of a modern gritty city fraught with prejudice and fear to a climactic end. "The whole thing's just a big clunky metaphor for modern urban decay," explains Chris.

It is yet another brilliantly intricate and hilariously acerbic album, with musical styles ranging from electronic synth-pop to moody piano-led folk.

On his past albums - including the first two parts of the trilogy The 253 (2001) and London Is Sinking (2003), as well as overtly political mini-album 9 Red Songs (2005) — Chris T-T tackles life's grand themes of war, money, politics, love, sex, and death and transforms them into highly personal and highly emotional songs.

It's a talent that has been championed by everyone from NME, Rolling Stone and Q to Radio 1, Radio 3 and 6Music.
