Dodgy
Friday 6th July
The Court Theatre, Tring
Tickets £15 - buy online (below) or from FANCY THAT or ROLL'N'ROCK, Western Road, Tring
For one night only, The Tringe morphs into a music festival. The opportunity to book one of the iconic bands of the 90's was too good to refuse. And they are back, with a brilliant new album. They'll be performing in Tring shortly before playing the London Live Olympic Event.
Tickets for this event are no longer available to buy.
The first time round, Dodgy were only together for seven years, but in that time they sold over a million records worldwide, released three albums and 12 Top 40 singles including 'Staying Out For The Summer', 'So Let Me Go Far', 'If You're Thinking Of Me' and the Top 5 hit 'Good Enough', all still a staple of radio playlists. They sold out the Brixton Academy for three nights in a row and were awarded an unprecedented 90-minute Saturday evening slot on the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury Festival in 1997 before headliners Radiohead.
The new album of brand new songs by Dodgy has been a long time coming but 'Stand Upright In A Cool Place' is well worth the wait. Deeper and more mature but with bigger choruses and stronger melodies, recorded over the summer of 2011 in an old farmhouse in Malvern and mixed by Matt Pence in Texas, the original members Nigel Clark, Andy Miller and Mathew Priest, have recorded their best work to date.
Support for the evening is supplied by Tom Billington & his band, as well as the three Spirit-of-Tring play live winners. More information to follow.
