Simon Boswell: Live in Concert
Fri 14 Nov 20:30
Simon Boswell is a British composer, producer, and musician whose career spans more than 150 film scores. 2025 marks the 40th anniversary of his first soundtrack, Dario Argento’s Phenomena (1985). To celebrate, Boswell brings his music to the stage in an immersive live show with a powerhouse lineup of musicians.
Together, they reimagine his cult soundtracks — Santa Sangre, Hardware, Dust Devil, Shallow Grave, Demons 2, Stage Fright, Lord of Illusions and more — as explosive performances fusing rock, electronica, and cinematic score. The concerts combine his music with psychedelic visuals, re-edited film sequences, and on-screen appearances from the likes of Dario Argento, Richard Stanley, Alejandro Jodorowsky and Iggy Pop. The result has been described as “Pink Floyd meets the Velvet Underground, conducted by Bernard Herrmann on acid.”
Songs performed include Simon’s music from:
Phenomena (Dario Argento)
Hardware and Dust Devil (Richard Stanley)
Santa Sangre (Alejandro Jodorowsky)
Shallow Grave (Danny Boyle)
Perdita Durango (Alex de la Iglesia)
Lord of Illusions (Clive Barker)

and many others

Between them, they have played with an astonishing and diverse array of artists including Penguin Cafe Orchestra, Femi Kuti, Paul Weller, Liam Gallagher, Florence and the Machine, Mick Jagger, Annie Lennox, Duran Duran, Take That, Liam Gallagher, Boy George, Madonna and Soul II Soul.
