As part of Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival’s Out to Lunch series, join us as we celebrate 50 years of Bob Dylan’s desire with Arborist offering their take on this classic album.
ARBORIST is the musical moniker of Belfast-based songwriter Mark McCambridge, alongside a cast of well-travelled musicians. Across 3 critically acclaimed albums. Their 3rd LP 'An Endless Sequence of Dead Zeros' was recorded at Spacebomb Studios in Richmond, Virginia and won the 2023 Northern Ireland Music Prize. Mark is a current 'Fellow' at the Seamus Heaney Centre at Queen's University, Belfast.
Mark said of the classic album, "Desire is Dylan's best selling album but it's very much a curio. Released between 2 legs of the Rolling Thunder Review tour and hot on the heels of the adored 'Blood On the Tracks' the songs are at times political, playful, tender, verbose, angry and strange - in essence, everything I love about Bob."
