Ady also reunites with his band to revisit Tell the Worry Dolls, the critically acclaimed record first launched at the venue in 2010 and hailed by Press Association as an early contender for album of the year. Both albums will be performed in full, bridging past and present in a unique, one-night-only performance. A 15th anniversary remastered vinyl edition of Tell the Worry Dolls, along with vinyl and CD copies of Under Gainsborough Skies, will be available on the night. Local legend DJ Ben Howard opens the evening with a suitably curated set. “He’s damn good live!” – Tom Robinson, BBC Radio 6 Music“One of the UK’s most inventive songwriters.” – Stephen Foster, BBC Radio Suffolk“Kitchen-sink romanticism worthy of Ray Davies.” – Americana UK Original photo by Robert Watts.
