Gomez burst onto the scene in the late 90s, with the band from Sheffield winning the 1998 Mercury Prize for their debut Bring It On. “It’s muscle memory, it’s occurred to all of us,” Ben Ottewell told us in 2019 when asked about touring with Gomez once more. “When we were in rehearsal before touring again, if you didn’t concentrate, you played it right. We’d played over a thousand shows and it’s been engrained in there somewhere.”

At The Brunswick Ballroom, you’ll be treated to the soulful voice of Ben Ottewell, whose repertoire includes his 2011 solo debut Shapes & Shadows, a showcase of blues-rock expertly blended with powerful and evocative lyricism. He’s contrasted by the softly sung Ian Ball, whose solo work explores the boundaries of indie pop and folk rock on Who Goes There – his sole solo album. Together, they’re an unmissable duo, playing with uncontested, oxymoronic, sonic beauty.
With their first show selling out in a couple of days, this is not one to be missed. Grab your tickets before they go by heading here.
