Everything But The Girl cover Charli XCX, Adrianne Lenker and more as they play first gigs in 25 years at intimate London shows

Everything But The Girl have performed their first gigs in 25 years at a pair of intimate London shows.

On April 6 and 7, Everything But The Girl – the duo of Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt – staged their first public concerts since 2000 at MOTH Club in London. To mark the special occasion, Thorn and Watt played a myriad of their original hits, as well as covers of songs from the likes of Charli XCX, Adrianne Lenker and more.

The duo opened their April 6 show with a cover of Cole Porter’s ‘Night and Day’, and later in the set played a cover of Charli XCX’s ‘I Might Say Something Stupid’. At the April 7 gig, they also performed covers of Bridget St. John’s ‘Song To Keep You Company’, Adrianne Lenker’s ‘Anything’ and Family Stereo’s ‘Removed’.

Footage from the shows has yet to be made available on social media.
