“… add to that Mark’s unique voice, the requisite melodies and soaring guitars and you could also make reference to several classic West Coast USA artists and beyond.” – Louder Than War The Bluetones Acoustic show is two members of Brit Pop legends The Bluetones, for special acoustic performances of the band’s classics. Mark Morriss and Adam Devlin have spent the best part of 3 decades honing their craft as a live performers, with 6 Bluetones albums under their belts including 14 Top 40 singles. This line up has recently completed a near sold out tour of the UK, with a follow up later this year already in the pipeline, before Mark & Adam take it to Ireland and Scandinavia next year. It is 2 hours of music interspersed with the banter and story-telling of two musicians who have been working together successfully for over 30 years. Later this year The Bluetones take the full band on their first tour since pre-pandemic times. “… brilliant as always, great music and as always very engaging with the audience. Mark still has a great voice, and both him and Adam are very good guitarists. Brilliant night!” – Audience member review, The Old Fire Station, Carlisle

Richard Shindell

Community Centre · Cromer

Richard Shindell lives as both an immigrant and emigrant, crossing thresholds, that informs his illumination of the human experience through narrative song. Shindell has inhabited a Zen Buddhist monastery, busked in the streets of Paris, opened for Joan Baez (who covered several of his songs), and collaborated with Grammy-winner Larry Campbell (Bob Dylan, Levon Helm, Elvis Costello). Originally from New York, now living in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Shindell is a writer whose songs paint pictures, tell stories, juxtapose ideas and images, inhabit characters, vividly evoking entire worlds along the way and expanding our sense of just what it is a song may be. Meticulously recorded over three years in New York and Buenos Aires, his most recent release, Careless, offered an ambitious, luxurious, full-length statement. Shindell immersed himself in the studio, allowing the time and latitude to explore, experiment, take risks—to play—as each of these eleven songs was given form and substance. While his signature acoustic guitar style is used to good effect, Careless also found Shindell plugging in more. “The wider sonic and dynamic range of the electric has been a real inspiration. R...

In 1980, Bates collaborated with Colin Thurston and contributed to the early recordings of Duran Duran. He rejoined Quill in 1983 and co-founded Don’t Panic with his future wife, Jo.

He played a significant role in the album „Moment Of Truth“ and worked as a co-producer and mixer. Post-ELO Part II,...
