Stockton's ARC, Georgian Theatre and Green Room all look set for a packed spring
Music fans on Teesside are in for a lively ride with a number of top gigs confirmed for venues across the region.
Stockton’s ARC, Georgian Theatre and Green Room all look set for a packed spring.
And the town is set to welcome award-winning reggae artist Finley Quaye, one-man band Bob Log III and acclaimed folk band Adrian Edmondson and the Bad Shepherds, to name just a few.
10CC founder member and hitmaker extraordinaire Graham Gouldman will also be bringing his Heart Full Of Songs show to ARC in what promises to be an intimate acoustic evening.
Gouldman, the man behind the likes of pop hits including Rubber Bullets, I’m Not in Love and Dreadlock Holiday, is set to be inducted into The Songwriters Hall of Fame this June at a special ceremony in New York.
Recent years have seen him become his own support act, playing acoustic versions of his various hits - a love of stripping songs back to their basics has led to the Heart Full of Songs tours which comes to Stockton in May.
Comedy legend from The Young Ones and Bottom, Adrian Edmondson, right, rolls into ARC on May 17.
His band The Bad Shepherds were not only nominated as Best Live Act at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, they won they 2012 Spiral Earth Award for their spirited, captivating live performances.
Expect stripped-down version of classic punk songs turned into contemporary folk songs in a unique musical experience.
The Georgian Theatre welcomes award-winning Scottish singer Finley Quaye on April 4 who shot to fame in 1997 with the release of his multi-platinum selling album Maverick A Strike featuring hit singles Sunday Shining, Your Love Gets Sweeter, Even After All and It’s Great When We’re Together.
His set at the Georgian Theatre is a rare acoustic solo outing for the gravelly toned singer and tickets are selling quickly.
And one-man whirlwind Bob Log III returns to The Green Room on April 28 after an absolutely unforgettable sold out show in 2013, which saw the American start the gig by crowd surfing in a rubber dingy. There’ll be hardcore Mississippi Delta blues, hip-hop beats and punk rock and his unique version of audience participation.
