Simeon Walker - 'Mono' Album Launch
Simeon Walker + AJIMAL
Entry Requirements: 16+
Simeon Walker is a pianist & composer from Leeds in the UK. A professional musician, he has been an active member of the UK music scene, performing with numerous bands and musicians. His debut solo EP 'Preface' was released last year on Swedish label 1631 Recordings to significant acclaim across the modern classical genre.
This success came off the back of inclusions on the 2016 & 2017 Official Piano Day Playlists, compiled by German luminary Nils Frahm. Walker is part of a burgeoning scene within the modern/contemporary/neo-classical world with the likes of Frahm, Ólafur Arnalds, Max Richter and label Erased Tapes leading the way in bringing a predominantly small, niche genre to wider attention.
Following a year of composing and recording, Simeon Walker releases the follow up to ‘Preface’, his debut full-length album ‘Mono’ on 24th November. Available for the first time on vinyl and CD, he will celebrate the release of the record with an album launch at Holy Trinity Church in Leeds on 30th November alongside a selection of secret shows around the UK and a European tour to follow in 2018.
