Jarvis: 9th to 11th November 2009 - Village Underground, London

Jarvis and his band plan to follow their residency earlier this year at Galerie Chappe in Paris with a similar event at London's Village Underground. The residency will take place between Monday 9th and Wednesday 11th November at the gallery, which is located at 54 Holywell Lane in Shoreditch. They will be present each day between around 12 noon and 6pm.

Like in Paris, activities will include members of the public participating in live musical improvisations, live musical accompaniment to exercise classes (for example, yoga and aerobics), and performances and improvisation with guest artists.

On the final evening there will be a concert starting at 20:00. For this tickets will be required, which can be obtained at Clubtickets.com for £30.00 plus a booking fee. Other events will presumably be free.

A live video stream is planned at www.jarviscocker.net.
