The unique show takes place at the Royal Festival Hall in London
Several musicians with the influential 1980s pioneers, Talk Talk, come together for a unique show in honor of the latest singer Mark Hollis.
The concert, titled "A Celebration of Talk Talk and Mark Hollis," will be held at the London Royal Festival Hall on November 26.
This is the first time the band has played Talk Talk since Hollis stopped playing in 1986.
The concert will feature founding keyboard Simon Brenner alongside several musicians who will perform on the band's albums and tours. They are percussionist Martin Ditcham, pianist Rupert Black, guitarist Jeep Hook and bbadist John McKenzie.
Hollis died at the age of 64 in February. He had completely stopped making music after his only solo album, "Mark Hollis", in 1998.
Special guest singers are promised for the performance. Tickets will go on sale August 1st to South Bank members and general sale on August 2nd.
It should be noted that the main Talk Talk members – bbadist Paul Webb, drummer Lee Harris and keyboardist Tim Friese-Greene – are not involved in the concert.
The show promises music all through Talk Talk's career, including the flagship albums Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock, both released after the band stopped playing live.
The musical director of the concert is Phil Ramacon, the songwriter who co-wrote "The Color Of Spring" on Hollis' solo album.
Bengi Unsal, senior programmer of contemporary music at the Southbank Center, said, "We are honored to hold this beautiful event. Tom Baker from Eat Your Own Ears and I talked about the staging of a Talk Talk celebration even before Mark's pbading.
"When he's sadly pbaded away, it has become inevitable for us, the fans and all the artists who love the band, to pay tribute to them and to appreciate the indelible mark they have left on the music. It's a product of love and admiration – the way we say thank you to Mark Hollis and Talk Talk. "
Paul Webb recently released 'Drift Code', his first solo album as Rustin Man, while Friese-Greene has a solo career under the pseudonym Heligoland.
