A celebration evening at AB Club in Brussels:
‘Celebrating 40 years of this unique independent music imprint. 1982-2022, British label Touch has been around for 40 years and that’s something we’re going to celebrate. After events in the likes of Los Angeles, Berlin, Chicago and London, this unique label will also present a number of its artists in Brussels.’
‘Touch and AB have already had a long love affair, one perpetuated in recent years with a number of superb events around this fantastic label: there was the expo with the artwork of co-founder Jon Wozencroft, we celebrated their 30 year existence at the Feeërieën, there were several label nights in the AB Salon, we organised together with Touch the Jóhann Jóhannsson tribute in 2018 involving the 2nd live performance ever of Virðulegu Forsetar, there was the legendary evening with Mika Vainio, Thomas Ankersmit and Hildur Gudnadóttir at Domino ‘11, Chris Watson performed his El Tren Fantasma live in Train World, Bana Haffar recorded her debut album in AB….’
‘And of course there were Fennesz, BJ Nilsen, Philip Jeck, Biosphere, Jana Winderen, Zachary Paul, Ipek Gorgun, Yann Novak, Simon Scott,… all unique artists that the label had given opportunities early in their careers, had established long-lasting relationships with, and who we have been able to present in AB at just the right moments in time.’
‘Aside from a Q&A with Mike Harding, who has been helping run the label since the early days, at this celebratory edition we will also be presenting: Fennesz (AT), Simon Scott (UK), Razen (B) and Valery Vermeulen (B)’
