David Byrne joined Anna Calvi on stage in Halifax and Cardiff for performances of their collaborative track ‘Strange Weather’.
Calvi served as the support act for both dates on Byrne’s ongoing ‘Who Is The Sky?’ tour, opening for him at the Piece Hall in Halifax on July 18 and at Cardiff Castle on July 26.
On both occasions, she invited the former Talking Heads frontman on stage to revive their 2014 cover of ‘Strange Weather’, the song by French-Israeli artist Keren Ann that they recorded for Calvi’s covers EP, also titled ‘Strange Weather‘.
“An honour to share the stage with David Byrne last week at The Piece Hall,” Calvi later wrote on Instagram. “It was really inspiring to perform Strange Weather with him once again. Thank you Halifax.”

NME gave the ‘Strange Weather’ EP a three-and-a-half-star review back in 2014, writing: “It’s only worth doing a version of someone else’s song if you bring something new to it. Anna Calvi certainly does that on this five-track EP of covers. Potential cover performers take note: this is how you do it.”
