Del Amitri founding members Justin Currie and Iain Harvie share stories from the band's history and hold a live Q&A with the audience.
Del Amitri are coming to the Scarborough Spa Theatre on Sunday 9 May 2027, with the show titled 45 Years Of Modest Failure. It's not a gig in the usual sense — there's no full band on stage. Instead, it's a conversation between two of the founding members: singer Justin Currie and guitarist Iain Harvie.
Between them, they're the creative force behind the songs that put the band on the map, including 'Roll to Me', 'Always the Last To Know' and 'Nothing Ever Happens'. They've spent more than four decades sharing songwriting, world tours and a band history, and for this one they're stepping away from the amps to talk about it. They'll be telling candid, hilarious and poignant tales from life on the road and in the studio, from their early Glasgow origins to international stardom.
The night is split into two halves. The first is the conversation itself, with Currie and Harvie recounting stories from across the band's career. The second half turns the room around: it's a live, interactive Q&A with the audience, so you'll get a chance to ask your own questions rather than just listening to them talk. If you've followed the band for years, it's a good opportunity to hear the stories behind the songs you know.
