Simon
has booked an impromptu acoustic evening to perform at No.1 Shakespeare Street.
Along with the songs from Merrymouth’s album due for release next year, he will
also play a large selection of Ocean Colour Scene hits and tracks from their
latest album ‘Painting’.
Simon
says, ‘Very much looking forward to playing at No.1 again.
“It’s a
brilliant venue which offers me the opportunity to showcase locally some of my
new work from the forthcoming second Merrymouth album along with the enjoyment
of playing the OCS hits and crowd favourites,’ adds Simon who lives in
Warwickshire.
Simon
formed Merrymouth in 2010 so that he could focus on his love of folk music and
includes Dan Smith from OCS. Their first
album was released in 2012.
Simon
has had a very busy year with OCS, touring Spain and performing at many of the
UKs major festivals including Beautiful Days, T in the Park, and headlining on
the main stages at V Festival, Ireland’s Electric Picnic, and Moseley Folk
Festival.
OCS
embarks on a fast selling-out UK tour in November which concludes two days
before Christmas. Simon will follow this
with a Merrymouth mini tour to promote the new album release next year. Dates to be confirmed.
The very
talented folk and blues singer/songwriter Jack Blackman, 19, from Alcester, who
played on stage with Paul Jones’ Blues Band when he was just 14, is the support
act.
