Following their amazing three sold out nights at Acapela in 2023, we welcome back The Blockheads.
Acapela Studio presents one of the most loved bands of the 70s, The Blockheads! They will be performing a large selection of their classic songs spanning over five decades including ‘What a Waste’, ‘Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll’, ‘Hit Me with Your Rhythm Stick’ and ‘Reasons to be Cheerful, Part 3’.
Formed in 1977 and originally fronted by lead singer Ian Dury, the band has continued to perform since Ian’s death in 2000. The band still boasts original members Chaz Jankel (guitar and keyboards), Mick Gallagher (keyboards and piano) and John Turnbull (vocals and guitar) along with an impressive band including John Roberts and Nathan King with a rolling line-up of saxophonists and their brilliant new lead vocalist .
SUPPORT – GG FEARN
GG Fearn is a 23-year-old Welsh dark pop musician, Cambridge law graduate, and a little bit of a weirdo. Hailing from Carmarthen, obsessed with writing music since 13 – she is a multi-instrumentalist always chasing a strange, unexpected sound.
Her latest single, “Permanent Record”, stands as a dark pop anthem that confronts the realities of a world saturated with technology. A true solo effort, GG wrote, produced, mixed, and mastered the single herself. “Permanent Record” marks a new chapter for GG, following her debut EP “Black Mirror,” which captivated audiences with its exploration of self-identity and unique dark pop sound. The EP garnered praise from BBC Radio Wales, solidifying her place as an emerging artist to watch in the BBC Horizons scheme. Her latest album “Scopophobia: Songs from the Motion Picture” was written as the soundtrack for the independent Welsh feature film Scopophobia, a story of four girls with something dark lurking beneath the surface. GG‘s music is influenced by the raw honesty of Fiona Apple, musical experimentation of Radiohead and whimsy of Kate Bush.
