ZAPPA AT THE ROUNDHOUSE - SATURDAY 6 NOVEMBER

Dweezil Zappa Plays Zappa plus very special guests
Main Space / 7pm

This unique performance sees Zappa's eldest son Dweezil and his band 'Zappa Plays Zappa' performs the classic album 'Apostrophe' in it's entirety alongside selections from his father's repertoire from the late 60s to early 90s. Dweezil will also be joined on stage by several members of Frank's incredible backing bands, including Jeff Simmons, Scott Thunes and Ian Underwood. In a final twist, the performance will also feature a section - from grave to stage - in which Frank himself will perform with the band via synchronized audio/video technology.

As huge Zappa fans, Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt will perform their own unique take on several Zappa tracks, as well as performing a dialogue from the legendary 'Old Bailey Obscenity Trial'.


Q&A / Demo session with Gail Zappa, Dweezil Zappa, Joe Travers, Ian Underwood, Jeff Simmons & Scott ThunesMain Space / 3.30pm

As one of the world's finest guitarists, Dweezil Zappa has progressed his technique to the extent that he can play music that was never intended to be played on guitar. This is a rare opportunity to see the incredible Zappa technique up close. Joe Travers has been the official 'Vaultmeister' for The Zappa Family Trust since 1995, holed-up in the legendary Utility Muffin Research Kitchen, fastidiously restoring and cataloging over 30 years worth of master recordings. In some instances, he probably knows more about the Zappa repertoire than Frank Zappa himself. Expect impromptu jamming, spontaneous riffing and the opportunity to get the answer to that Zappa question you've always wanted to ask.
