The Onion Boys‘their creative juices will make your eyes water’ (Anon 2022)

The Onion Boys are Steven Fowler and Benedict Taylor. They’ve worked together and crossed paths through sound art, poetry, music, film & improvisation circles, and through chatting and larking about, for many years, albeit with some large gaps amongst these meetings.

Whenever they would meet, they would delve deep – moving a step towards the core of their shared creative thoughts and ideas; peeling the layers of an onion if you will. In a similar sense, following these various creative encounters, they were left with lingering and increasingly strong and developing flavours of what the other was up to and where they wanted their collaboration to go; as with the glorious flavours and fragrances of all types of Allium, whether it be garlic, leeks, chives, scallions, good old common onions and so on.

Steven and Benedict are thrilled to bring these essences to the public sphere now, with the first performance of The Onion Boys.
