Steve Mason (+ Redolent) - Saint Luke's, 1st Feb 2024
Chat to Steve Mason about his fifth solo album – the stirring and stunning Brothers & Sisters – and all manner of musical touchpoints crop up. From Wu-Tang Clan and LTJ Bukem to Adam & The Ants and Public Image Limited by way of Mahalia Jackson and The Cramps, Mason not only knows his musical onions, but remains resolutely a fan. However, when it came to looking for guidance and inspiration for the best album of his career – no mean feat when you consider his back catalogue – his cultural lodestar was expertly chosen. The finished album is arguably the most open, honest and vibrant record of Mason’s career.
The Wakes - King Tut's, 1st + 2nd Feb 2024
The Wakes are a Folk’n’Roll band from Glasgow, Scotland. Their ambition is to make music with a social conscience. Music that matters. Their songs are songs, born from political and social struggle, of protest and of heartache and of the joys of life. Their fusion of traditional instrumentation, with a contemporary sound have helped the band to generate live shows which are energetic, euphoric, and often unforgettable.
After The Last Waltz - King Tut's, 3rd Feb 2024
Starring the Stevie Agnew Band, performing songs of the legendary concert and much loved film from The Band. After The Last Waltz is a show steeped in musical history and respect for this influential group, playing hits from the movie and more.
A night of Americana, folk, blues and classic rock and roll!
