Hello, friends:

David E. Williams here. Just writing to let you know of a very special
event that Jennifer and I are hosting at Germ Books

Our September/ October gallery artist is Andrew King and he's a wonderful
British painter of alchemical and classical themes. Some of you might
recognize his name from album artwork he did for Current 93 and Sol
Invictus, or from musical releases of his own on Athanor and Old Europa
Cafe.

He's an amazing vocalist and scholar-- covering ageless tunes by people like
the good ol' Knights Templar! -- and he'll be doing an acapella performance
on Sunday September 4 at 3PM in the store (FREE admission - part of the
Philly Fringe). I saw him perform in London once and it really defies
description.

Here's how I tried to describe it for the Fringe Festival catalog:

"War and Plague dominate this a cappella exploration of occult themes in the
British Traditional folk song. For over a decade and under the auspices of
institutions like the British Library, baritone Andrew King has worked to
preserve the authentic folk-ways and achievements of British vernacular
culture."

Hope to see you there!
