New Zealand avant-pop artist Dudley Benson performs the final London show of his 2019 European Tour.
Dudley Benson is a queer, independent solo artist from New Zealand, and has been described as "The most fascinating musician to have emerged in this country in the last ten years.” (Sunday Star Times). Currently on tour of Europe supporting the release of his critically acclaimed album ‘Zealandia’, Benson’s work seamlessly blends elements of pop, choral, classical and electronic music to arresting effect. Achieving somewhat of a cult status in New Zealand, Benson has duetted with Vashti Bunyan, been remixed by Matmos, Casiotone For The Painfully Alone and Barbara Morgenstern, and recorded albums in both English and te reo Māori (the Māori language).
