Sun of Goldfinger

A second chance to hear David Torn's Sun of Goldfinger at the Vortex in London with Tim Berne and Chad Smith.

Soweto Kinch presents experimental American guitarist David Torn and his band Sun of Goldfinger, with saxophonist Tim Berne and drummer Ches Smith in concert at the Vortex in London in a programme first broadcast in February 2017. Torn is famous for his combination of electronics and acoustic guitar work, using loops and other electro-acoustic devices. The current trio is an offshoot of his band Prezens, which recorded an eponymous album in 2007. This was Torn's first UK visit for some years.
