Ben Folds and a Piano

+ Matt Holubowski

— ,Barbican Hall
A giant Ben Folds holds a grand piano under his arm or a normal sized Ben Folds holds a miniature piano under his arm - who knows? Either way it's a lot of fun !

Taking to the stage with just a grand piano for company, cult hero Ben Folds plays tracks both classic and current.

After focusing on large-scale live work with orchestras in recent years, this show recalls his original solo tours where he defied sceptics by delivering high energy Rock performances using only a piano. There are few musicians that can draw on such a varied and vast body of work, and tonight don’t be surprised to hear Ben Folds Five favourites followed by stripped back renditions of his more Classical-leaning repertoire. The real joy of a Ben Folds concert comes from the man himself, with his love for the music shining through on every occasion.

Support on the night comes from Matt Holubowski.
