The Defining Ten is where an artist/creative is invited to take us on a musical dot-to-dot journey of the tracks that led them to who they are today.
The Defining Ten is where an artist/creative is invited to take us on a musical dot-to-dot journey of the tracks that led them to who they are today. These could be the first song they have a memory of, first purchase, first song they learnt to play, the track that opened doors, the track that closed doors, a track that inspired and led to a new musical direction – so expect a variety of tracks from themselves and other artists. These tracks will be played in turn – either from vinyl, CD or streamed – and discussed with the artist.
On Thursday 26th November we bring Barry Adamson to Worthing to discuss the 10 songs which have defined his diverse career.
Barry Adamson is a songwriter, composer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer who first made his reputation as a sideman, working with Magazine and Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds before he struck out on his own with a unique solo career. Adamson’s music is richly atmospheric with a cinematic feel, and he made his solo debut with a mock soundtrack album, 1989’s Moss Side Story, before going on to score real movies. Often blending organic instrumentation with loops and samples, Adamson’s music often blends retro sounds with up-to-date production, fusing jazz and European pop on 1992’s Soul Murder, experimenting with electronic music on 1996’s Oedipus Schmoedipus, fashioning a seedy blend of jazz, pop, and dance music on 2002’s The King of Nothing Hill, and celebrating underground cinema on 2026’s SCALA!!
After discussing the 10 songs which have defined his career, Barry will be treating us to a short solo performance of songs that further inspired him
