Kings Place is proud to present da Googie, the solo project from Deb Googe – bass player with My Bloody Valentine, Thurston Moore Group, and Brix Smith. Support comes from pianist and composer Cara Tivey,  who will also accompany da Googie for half of her set.

da Googie blends traditional bass lines with more abstract noises and field recordings to make intricate, layered soundscapes. In the summer of 2024 she took a hiatus from touring to complete her first full length album, a collaboration with her friend of many years Cara Tivey. The solo performance will be a presentation of her first solo recordings, set for release in early November.

Cara Tivey is a pianist and composer. During the 80’s and 90’s Cara worked as a session keyboardist, touring and recording with various bands, including Everything but the Girl, Billy Bragg and latterly Blur during their Parklife era. She then taught music and Performing Arts at the Royal National College for the Blind in Hereford. Recently Cara has focused on her own material, refining her compositional style, resulting in pieces that reflect her musical influences and background. She is particularly inspired by the Herefordshire countryside.
