Live show by electronic music project The Orb at The Welly in Hull.
The Orb play The Welly on Friday 5 February, with the night starting at 19:00. It's a single-name bill, so the whole evening belongs to them.
For those who only know the name, The Orb is the project of Battersea-born Alex Paterson. He started out roadying and occasionally singing with Killing Joke in 1979, and by 1982 he was working as an A&R man at EG Records. He drifted into the acid house scene around 1987, where he began playing chillout at Paul Oakenfold's Land Of Oz club alongside Jimmy Cauty. The two launched The Orb in 1988 with The Kiss EP, and they broke through with the 1989 track 'A Huge Pulsating Brain That Rules From The Centre Of The Ultraworld'.
Paterson later started the WAU! label with Youth and has continued DJing ever since, including on WNBC in London. The Orb has remained his primary project, and this Hull date is part of that long-running output.
