Dave McCabe, singer of The Zutons, plays Chew's Yard in Preston with special guest James Jay Lewis.
Dave McCabe plays Chew's Yard on Thursday 12 November, with James Jay Lewis opening. It's a Preston date for the English singer, songwriter and guitarist, best known as the frontman of The Zutons.
If you've followed the band, you'll know McCabe as the voice and the guitar at the front of it all. This is him stepping out on his own, with James Jay Lewis as the special guest for the night. The two will share the bill, so you'll get a full evening of music rather than just a single set.
For those who only know him through The Zutons, it's worth remembering that he's a songwriter as well as a singer. The Zutons built their name on that particular blend of Merseybeat and scouse-inflected indie, and McCabe was the one leading the charge on vocals and guitar. Seeing him play his own material in a room like Chew's Yard puts the focus on the songs themselves, away from the full band sound.

It's a mid-week one, so it's a Thursday night rather than a weekend date. The music starts at 7:30 PM at Chew's Yard, 103-111 Market Street West, in the heart of Preston. If you're coming from the city centre, it's a short walk to Market Street West, so you can get there without much fuss.
