Radiohead Drummer Philip Selway Announces Two Intimate Benefit Gigs

Radiohead drummer Philip Selway has revealed details of two very intimate hometown gigs to raise much needed funds for Pegasus Theatre in Oxford.
The shows mark the first time Philip Selway has played in Oxford as a solo artist and are a dramatic departure from the massive arena shows and festival headlining sets he plays with Radiohead. All the money made from ticket sales of Philip's gigs will go towards helping to deliver Pegasus Theatre's youth theatre work.
Philip will perform tracks from his new EP 'Running Blind' and his haunting debut album 'Familial' when he plays two nights in a 135-seat auditorium at Pegasus Theatre next month. Speaking about the shows, Philip said.
"I haven't had the chance to play in Oxford as a solo artist. So bringing the songs back to where they were written makes playing these gigs very special to me.
"Pegasus is a wonderfully intimate venue. Playing in smaller venues can be unforgiving, but when you get it right they are the best places to perform because of the incredible connection you can get with the audience."
Philip is currently in the process of writing more of his own material and may debut some of it during his Pegasus shows if he has finished the arrangements in time. He will be joined on stage by musicians Kath Mann, Caroline Weeks and drummer Alex Thomas, as well as renowned solo artist and producer Adem.
