Final Fantasy



Two men stood before the world on empty stages separated by a vast ocean. Each was alone apart from a string instrument at his chin. Both were tall - some would say handsome - and both possessed of a creative talent that shone in many colours, some unusual and rare. As happens with those who choose to stand on stages, some folk gathered to watch. And listen. The people smiled, clapped and afterwards chattered amongst their friends.

As more and more people gathered about to watch these two, young impressive men, something happened to bifurcate this story's branch. One of the young men became consumed by his own image and sought to mold himself into the legend he thought he must surely become. The people about at first thought it comical, then tragic and finally they were repulsed and turned their backs.

However everyone's favourite violin-toting Canadian, Owen Pallett, is back in the UK for 2 dates over the next few months. He remains, as he ever was: charming, funny and an incredible musician. Gather about people!
