Next show – A special performance at MAC Birmingham

Howdy bab,

Our next show will be something a little bit special. We’re currently putting together a stripped-down, acoustic performance for the Hexagon Theatre at MAC Birmingham. It will take place on Friday 27th April, tickets are £11 (£10 concessions) and are available here. The show is open to all ages.

The Hexagon theatre is an intimate space, with 80 seats that loom in a steep semi-circle above and around the stage. It’s a great place to see a show. Here’s what it looks like…

For this gig we’ll temporarily become a 7-piece as we’re being joined by Nigel Darville, the keyboard wizard who played so beautifully on our 2016 debut LP, “TrailerParkLife“, and who has recently added some equally great parts to our new record, “The True Adventures of Independent Country“, out this summer. Here’s Nigel leading us in on our version of New FADS’ ‘Big’

Support on the night comes from our good friend, the fantastically talented James Summerfield. He’ll be old playing songs from his tremendous back catalogue, and also tunes from his latest record, “Doubt”.

For those who have never seen us play a more ‘sedate’ show, here’s how we lined up at London’s legendary Union Chapel for a similar show a year or so back:

See you there!
