There’s the sound of somewhere else and the permanence of a plant pot and the ubiquity of a phrase and the heartbreaking brevity of a very long time. There’s figs and worms and an old dog rejecting a blanket. There’s a woman, on a train, wearing a badge. There’s the first beep of a smoke alarm and there’s a daffodil in December and there’s the condition of fruit. There’s a hand in bed and there’s stuff on the stairs and there’s a mark on my jumper and there’s a massive tree in storage on a farm in Kent. There’s nothing to say and there’s the thought of rotting and there’s the name of a feeling and there’s the smell of to***co. There’s the twelfth floor of a hotel and the far end of a platform at Tamworth train station. There’s a duty to act and there’s a resistance to growth and there’s a new place up the road and there’s a completely redundant volume control. There’s a toilet in Hong Kong and a coffee shop in Melbourne and the passage of light through a building and deliberately making things much more difficult than they actually need to be.
And.
There’s music, more or less throughout, at least two funny voices and upwards of three jokes.

Ocean Colour Scene’s charismatic frontman Simon Fowler is joining us next spring to share the stories and songs of his career.

Simon said: “It’s 30 years since we released Moseley Shoals so I thought it was an ideal time to take my story and songs on the road. Like no tour I have done before, this will be a chance for fans to hear the tales behind the tunes.” Joining us in Lincoln on the 23rd April, 2028.

A singer and actor, a TV host and author, a multiple BRIT Award nominee and a film star – Toyah has worn many hats during a remarkable career.

She said: “I am having the most wonderful time on this tour, meeting fans, telling stories, and singing my favourite hits. The chance to do it all again next year was too good to miss!” Joining us in Lincoln on the 19th November, 2027.
