An Evening with David Ford at Cafe No9 (2nd Night Added)

The Spiel

David Ford: Songbook Highlights and stories from 25 years of songwriting David Ford’s Songbook tour is a stripped-back, intimate evening built around 25 years of songwriting. Part live set, part storytelling, he revisits the songs that have shaped his career, sharing the moments and influences behind them along the way. It’s a relaxed, engaging show—just Ford, the songs, and the stories—moving easily between raw, powerful performances and quieter, more reflective moments, with plenty of warmth and humour throughout. The tour accompanies the release of a special career-spanning retrospective double vinyl, bringing together some of the standout songs from his catalogue. Featuring a mix of updated recordings and remastered originals, it’s Ford’s own selection of his most important work, compiled in one place for the first time—and the live show offers a chance to hear those songs as they were meant to be experienced, up close and in the moment. Don't miss it. ********************************************************************************** Please note this ticket price DOES include a BYOB fee should you wish to bring alcohol to the venue. All additional purchases of non alcoholic drinks and home baked sweet treats from the cafe counter are always very much appreciated.
