Friends! Saturday 20th May marks the last of our informal concerts at The Society Club as it is to close for good in June. Andy, Chris & I have trialled all of our Torsten songs there! It will also be a launch party for my book "Schema / Stasis - The Torsten Verse Diaries". See event details and ticket information below. I look forward to seeing some of you there! X
Andy Bell (of Erasure fame) presents his emergent new project, 'Andy Bell Is Torsten', a musical performance extravaganza telling the story of the 'polysexual semi-immortal bareback saint' Torsten character, made in collaboration with playwright Barney Ashton and pianist Christopher Frost. Hot on the heels of two fabulous albums, two theatre shows, and countless other adventures, this trio of troubadours come to The Society Club for an exclusive intimate show.
There will be performances by Barney Ashton and Andy Bell of songs from the Torsten catalogue, new songs, surprise cover versions, and readings from their forthcoming book 'Schema / Stasis : The Torsten Verse Diaries'.
This is Torsten's farewell concert for The Society Club, the one and only official 'Andy Bell Is Torsten' event in 2017.

I lost track a bit, when will the next Torsten instalment be released? Or is there no time plan yet?
It was originally pencilled in for this October,but with the heavy Erasure schedule it will more likely be 2018. Recording of the album is well underway.
It was a great night but boy was it hot in there!!!,we were lucky to have songs from Torsten 1,2 &3 (new track 20 Years) also Sometimes & The Winner Takes It all and poetry from the book. We also got a poem written by Andy inspired by the album track Oh What a World. Vince also made an appearance supporting Andy
