Ocean Colour Scene guitarist Steve Cradock plays and sings hits from the OCS songbook in his debut solo tour, in a 18+ night.
Steve Cradock plays Social on Sunday 18 April, as part of the Travellers Tunes series. He's the guitarist for Ocean Colour Scene, and the set is built around the OCS songbook, with Cradock playing and singing the hits from the band's catalogue.
If you've followed OCS, you'll know Cradock is behind some of the most distinctive riffs of the last thirty years. He ignited 'The Riverboat Song' and 'Hundred Mile High', and helped propel the band to double-platinum glory with Moseley Shoals. He formed Ocean Colour Scene in 1989 with Simon Fowler, Damon Michella and Oscar Harrison, and the group played record-breaking gigs with Oasis at Knebworth in front of 250,000 people when Britpop reached its zenith in 1996. This is his debut tour, so it's the first time he's taken these songs out on the road as a solo act.
Beyond the band, Cradock has worked with some of the biggest names in British music. He joined Paul Weller's group in 1992 and has appeared on all of his studio albums, and he also joined The Specials in 2014. This night brings him back to the songs he's known for, with him handling both the guitar and the vocals.
