David Field and Geoff Morrell have been playing music together for 10 years, firstly as The Number 4 Band, and for the last few years as Thieves Oil. A feature documentary on their time touring with the Number 4 Band is in final stages of completion. Dave and Geoff are better known for having acted in countless iconic television, film and theatre shows for over 40 years, but have always both individually and together made art, films and music.

The Thieves Oil show that they’ll be performing at 130ArtStudios began life at the Old Fitz Theatre in Darlinghurst as a fundraiser, and is very much a show still in development. With their original songs at the centre of the show, it also includes poems and a few yarns and observations from a couple of people who have 90 years collective experience in the performance game!

It sounds serious, but it’s always fun.

Joining us for one night only(at the moment) will be Virginie Laverdure and Berynn Schwerdt on vocals. They have been recording vocals for the Thieves Oil album that Dave and Geoff are currently recording, so it’s a real thrill to be able to sing live with them.

This is a show that we want to take around the world, so come along and say you were there at the beginning!
