A musician of rare versatility, John Cale is an uncompromising artist who has spent the past 40 years working as a composer, performer and producer. Born in Wales, he studied musicology in London before winning a scholarship to study in Boston. He went on to co-found The Velvet Underground before embarking on a solo career.
Tonight Cale performs songs from his latest album Hobo Sapiens together with earlier solo material, music from his time with the Velvets and a song by the great Leonard Cohen.
