Listen to Richard Dawson perform 'Museum' and 'Two Halves' at Le Guess Who?

Curated by Slauson Malone 1 Recordings

Richard Dawson performed live at Utrecht's Jacobikerk during Le Guess Who? 2023 as part of the program curated by Slauson Malone 1. You can now listen to the British folk master performing Museum (from the 2022 album The Ruby Chord) and Two Halves (from 2020).

"The next song is from the point of view of a robot or an AI, something like that. And it’s set maybe 700 or 800 years in the future, when humankind is no longer here, and this is like a highlight reel of humans" - Richard Dawson, Museum
