About the show

Damian Wilson will present a special acoustic performance drawn from his solo catalogue, joined by his brother, Paul Jude Wilson. Together, the Wilsons create a truly distinctive musical experience, blending rich, natural vocal harmonies that only siblings can achieve. Intimate, expressive and deeply moving, this is a performance that brings a fresh and personal dimension to Damian’s music. ABOUT DAMIAN WILSON Damian Wilson is an English songwriter and vocalist who’s known for his exploration into different genres and is considered one of the most versatile singers in rock. Open to whatever crosses his path, he’s had an adventurous career over the last 30 years. To this day he has released 6 solo albums and also 3 albums as a duo with Adam Wakeman. Damian balances his solo career as a singer-songwriter with being an energetic frontman for rock bands and guest vocalist.

In 1993 he recorded his first album with Threshold, ‘Wounded Land’. He would return for their third album 'Extinct Instinct'. In 1997, Damian's debut solo album 'Cosmas' was released. This album was a departure from the heavy/progressive rock sound that people had been used to. He managed to surprise people even more by landing the role of Jean Valjean in Cameron Mackintosh's touring production of Les Misérables. He played lead role for two years. In 2000 Damian fronted Rick Wakeman’s Rock Ensemble and toured and recorded with them for two years. During that time he also featured on several Ayreon albums. This collaboration with Arjen Lucassen would result in three more Star One albums. In 2007 he was asked by Threshold to return as lead singer. Three studio albums and numerous tours have followed since. In that same year he formed the progressive rock band Headspace with Adam Wakeman. They released an EP and supported Ozzy Osbourne on his 2007 tour, but it would take 5 years for their debut album ‘I Am Anonymous’ would be released. As part of a 3 album deal with InsideOut Music, the second Headspace album was released in February 2016.
