MEW WITH DANISH CHAMBER ORCHESTRA
VENUE BARBICAN HALL, LONDON DATE 03/04/2024
Rock bands playing with orchestras isn’t always an idea which works. Sometimes the two elements can pull against each other or sit awkwardly, as if on a mismatched blind date. And sometimes the strategy just comes across as an ego-trip from a band wanting to look fancy, as if they reckon their songs deserve something more grandiose than “mere” rock music.
