Long-serving guitarist to the Paul Weller, and former lead singer of Ocean Colour Scene Steve Craddock is to play Plymouth Guildhall as part of his upcoming UK tour.
Following on from his recent success with Northern Soul club night, ‘Souled Out’, club promoter Jonny Fulton has booked Steve Cradock to play an exciting set at the ‘Soul Rider’ club night on Saturday 26th
May 2012.
Also guaranteed to satisfy the musical cravings of eager mod and indie fans will be the bevy of renowned Northern Soul DJs spinning an eclectic fusion of Mod, Indie and Northern Soul tunes all night long.
Steve Cradock is widely regarded as one of the finest songwriters and guitarists of his generation. His achievements with Ocean Colour Scene and continuing global successes as Paul Weller’s guitarist have made
Cradock one of the modern day giants of British rock.
The Plymouth show will see Cradock fresh from his stint supporting Liam Gallagher and his band Beady Eye on their April tour dates.
Jonny Fulton said: “I have always loved and embraced the mod scene of the sixties, it’s become a way of life for me.
“I noticed that there was a glaring gap in the market which needed filling. The scooter rallies and meets
around the country which I am regularly part of always have an electric buzz about them unparalleled in clubs and pubs around the city
“The music is paramount to the success of a Northern Soul night; people come from far and wide to soak up the atmosphere and be part of something very raw and very real, it’s set to be a corker of a night and I’m
delighted that the people of my home town have elcomed it so warmly.”
Fulton met Cradock on a train from Plymouth to London in January. The two men got chatting over a few beers and instantly connected over a shared passion for great music and their dedication to the mod music scene.
Tickets go on sale on Monday February 20th 2012 and cost £15 each.
