Chumbawamba

Event information

Chumbawamba take to the stage once more to celebrate the release of their new album ABCDEFG. The theme of the album is music – that volatile stuff which both the band and their audience have shared for as long as they can remember – and the new songs cover such diverse topics as the wearing of iPods in public places, censorship of music under repressive regimes and the power of the voice. Oh, and Simon Cowell’s come-uppance …

They are joined on the tour by fellow No Masters artists O’Hooley & Tidow; dapper-suited gentlewomen with a wryly observant, melancholic and sometimes uncomfortable take on life, creating their very own brand of contemporary folk song, with stark and beautiful piano playing that some will recognise from Belinda O’Hooley’s time as pianist with the Unthanks. O’Hooley & Tidow will be playing songs from their new album, Silent June.

Support comes from Southampton based band 'Dlugokecki'.
