A delightful family concert with Nick Cope featuring favourite songs, accompanied by his guitar and stunning animations.
Nick Cope is playing The Old Market on Saturday 19 September, with a second show on Sunday 20 September. It's a family concert, so it's one you take the kids along to rather than a night out on your own. He'll be performing his favourite songs, the ones that have become staples of his live sets over the years.
Cope has been writing and recording for children and families for more than a decade, and his live show is built around him and his guitar, with animations projected behind him. He's played to sell-out crowds across the country, and a good part of that growth came from the success of his CBeebies show, Nick Cope's Popcast, which brought his songs to a much wider audience.
He's picked up some rather high-profile comparisons along the way. Steve Lamacq of BBC Radio 6 Music called him 'the Ray Davies for the pre-teen generation', and Stewart Lee described him as 'the indie-surrealist kids' entertainer Robyn Hitchcock and Syd Barrett, foolishly distracted by cult status, never were'. The Guardian went for 'the Poptimistic Pied Piper, of discerningly musical toddlers'. It's a fair summary of where he sits: music written for children, but with a pop sensibility that doesn't talk down to them.
