The Slaughtered Lamb

Cosy Clerkenwell venue The Slaughtered Lamb offers the perfect setting for the intense yet intimate songs of Norwegian Pål Moddi Knutsen. Running away from the isolated island of Senja with his mother’s old accordion in his youth, the now 24-year old couples a traditional folk sound with a Scandinavian window open to experimentation. With his personal, colloquial voice and lyrics steeped in natural world imagery, smatterings of philosophy and ambivalent anguish he engages listeners with haunting vocals equally weighted in nostalgia and regret and backed by an array of instruments from piano and cello to guitar and musical saw. He plays on March 28th and 29th.
