“SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO”
SOMETHING TO TOUR ABOUT: 25 YEARS OF BADLY DRAWN BOY
Damon Gough aka Badly Drawn Boy is proud to announce a series of intimate shows to celebrate 25 years of releasing music. Starting in Norwich at Epic Studios on March 20th, the tour culminates at London’s Alexandra Palace Theatre on April 4th. The shows will feature a career-spanning set of hits and fan favourites as well as being his Xirst full headline tour since 2020’s album ‘Banana Skin Shoes’. Gough says about the tour:
“I’m delighted to announce I’ll be doing a tour in March and April ’23... Playing some pretty special venues. This coincides with my 25th anniversary as a recording artist so I’ll be playing songs from across my career, including favourites and some rarities and deep cuts. I’d like to think this is the tour I’d want to see if I was a long time fan. Very much looking forward to it and hope to see you there.”
It’s hard to predict what he will play from such a beautiful and eclectic discography that over nine albums has earned him the reputation as one of the U.K.’s most treasured songwriters. From his still-towering, Mercury Prize winning debut The Hour Of Bewilderbeast in 2000 to the enthralling soundtrack to Nick Hornby adaptation About A Boy (from 2002); Have You Fed The Fish? (also 2002) which featured You Were Right, his biggest single to date; the mental-state-of-the-nation epic Born In The U.K. (2006) and his most recent album Banana Skin Shoes released in 2020 which due to Covid hasn’t been played much live despite being heralded as one of his best albums. Knowing Damon he’ll mix it up each night - when you’ve got a repertoire like his, why wouldn’t you?
