The Tiger Lillies – Serenade from the Sewer

The legendary death-oompah band The Tiger Lillies return to Wilton’s Music Hall with a brand-new album and concert celebrating the weird, macabre and those that society has abandoned.

Olivier award-winning and Grammy nominated, The Tiger Lillies have toured the world for over 35 years and released scores of critically acclaimed albums. They have starred in some unforgettable theatre productions from their West End smash Shockheaded Peter to this year’s A Macbeth Song which ran from three months in Barcelona.

Armed with a brand-new album, telling the stories of those on the margins of society, they will also perform fan favourites and songs celebrating the spooky season based on the works of Lovecraft, Poe and more.

Lead singer and writer Martyn Jacques says:
‘A major theme of the many hundreds of songs I have written are the people living in the margins. When I moved to Soho in the 1980s I spent many hours just looking out of my window. And I watched the drug dealers and the prostitutes and the drug addicts and the gangsters. And I learned what they did and why they did it. It wasn’t always as straightforward as you might imagine. But it was before the yuppies arrived. Serenade from the Sewer presents some memories of that time. It was a happy time for me. But it was tragic for many of the people I knew and watched from my window.’
