Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn of Everything But The Girl close their year with three nights at MOTH Club, the Hackney room whose residency shaped their new album.
Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn, who recorded “Missing” as Everything But The Girl, play three nights at MOTH Club in Hackney from Sunday 13 to Tuesday 15 December 2026.
The pair formed the band in 1982 after meeting at Hull University. They moved to the Blanco Y Negro label for their debut album, Eden, in 1984.
“Missing” changed their audience. Todd Terry’s house remix crossed from club play to radio, sold over three million copies and peaked at number 3 in Britain and number 2 in the United States.
Walking Wounded followed in 1996 with four UK top 40 singles and took them to Virgin Records outside North America. Fuse, released in April 2023, was their first album in 24 years.
The pair name their long residency at MOTH Club as the inspiration for Blue Reservoir, their new album. It was recorded largely live at RAK Studios in July and is due on 19 February 2027.
