 THOMAS DOLBY
IN ASSOCIATION WITH BLUE DOLPHIN FILMS PRESENTS:
‘THE INVISIBLE LIGHTHOUSE TOUR’
SEPTEMBER & OCTOBER 2013
TICKETS: £20.00 & £25 London

"Touching… Evocative… Beautiful"– JJ Abrams
“Spellbinding”–Richard Blade (XM Sirius Radio)

Thomas Dolby, musician, record producer and, now, award winning independent film-maker will
be touring the UK in September and October 2013.

The British Synth player had chart success in the 1980s with hits like ‘Windpower’, ‘Hyperactive!’
and ‘She Blinded Me With Science’.

The Invisible Lighthouse Tour sees Dolby take his latest film project on the road, and present it
to audiences as a unique theatrical experience. Combining his music and art in one breath-taking
show, the tour will focus on some of the UK’s most historic arthouse cinemas.

There is a mysterious island across the water off the East Anglian coast that, during its chequered
history, has been an airfield, a military testing ground for experimental weapons and home to the
main transmission network for the BBC World Service. On the tip of the island is a beautiful
lighthouse.

“Since I was a small child, I have fallen asleep, at night, to the soothing periodic flash of the light 
on my bedroom wall.” – THOMAS DOLBY

But, now, it is about to be closed down.Like many lighthouses around the world, it’s becoming obsolete as ships adopt satellite navigation.

With global warming and beach erosion threatening its very foundations, it’s soon going to be a
pile of rubble left to fall into the North Sea.

Over the past year Thomas has taught himself to become a writer, film-maker and editor in order to produce this impressionistic documentary that follows in the vein of his music and lyrics, 
describing it as “a kind of tone poem with music and moving images.”

Thomas Dolby’s The Invisible Lighthouse Tour is a unique transmedia performance, where he
accompanies the screening with live narration and a musical soundtrack linking songs from various
stages of his career, including ‘Cloudburst At Shingle Street’ through to ‘Oceanea’ and beyond.


Right on Thomas!!! Keep the DIY Flag flying high!!!!
