He’ll have plenty of stories to share when he brings his solo show to The Fishpond, Matlock Bath on December 3.

Expect songs of middle -aged angst and ennui along with tales of ineptitude and encounters with some of music’s most famous names who he has on speed dial. Even if his calls are blocked at the other end! He’s finally run out of friends and so now has no choice but to go it alone.

Tickets are £8 in advance, £10 on the door, available via the Fishpond website www.thefishpondmatlockbath.co.uk or by calling 01629 55006.
