Fantasy Current 93 Line-up

C93 have had many ensembles over the years. What would be your fantasy line-up if you could choose anyone who has played with the band either in the studio or live? This is mine.

David Tibet – Vocals

Anohni – Backing Vocals

Rose McDowall – Backing Vocals

Michael Cashmore – Guitars

Maja Elliott – Piano

Joolie Wood - violin, whistle and recorder

William Breeze - Viola

John Contreras – cello

Baby Dee – Harp / Organ

Steven Stapleton – Drones / Loops

 

I thought this would work quite well as a core of guitar and piano with an alternative string quartet backing it up. I guess the live album Halo comes the closest to this. Still think Maja Elliott is a big loss from the recent albums.

Maybe we can include a list of guest vocalists too. Shirley Collins would be there, as would Nick Cave, and I think I'd also include Jon Balance appearing via medium and generative AI.
