Founding members Justin Currie and Iain Harvie of Del Amitri share an unscripted evening of conversation and a live Q&A about their songwriting history.
Justin Currie and Iain Harvie are coming to The Drill on Sunday 13 June 2027 for 45 Years Of Modest Failure, an evening of conversation and storytelling about their time in Del Amitri. They're the founding members of the band and the creative force behind hits like 'Roll to Me', 'Always the Last To Know' and 'Nothing Ever Happens'. For this one, they're stepping away from the amps for an unscripted night of reflection, drawing on more than four decades of songwriting, world tours and band history. They'll be sharing candid, often hilarious and absurd tales from life on the road and inside the studio, tracing the journey from their early Glasgow origins to international stardom.
The second half of the night is given over to the audience in a live, interactive Q&A session, so you'll have your turn to ask them about the things you've always wondered. It's a chance to hear the stories behind the songs and the years of touring that followed, told by the two people who were there for all of it.
Currie, a Scottish singer and songwriter, also maintains a following as a solo artist. His sound started in nineties pop-rock and has evolved into modern, urban ballads, taking in influences such as Nick Cave, Crowded House and Mark Lanegan. This night is less about the music and more about the history that sits behind it.
