Blur drummer Dave Rowntree plays The Pioneer Club and signs copies of his book 'No-One You Know', with an indie disco by Common People.
Dave Rowntree is at The Pioneer Club on Thursday 19 November, appearing to promote his book No-One You Know. It's not a gig in the usual sense: he'll be signing copies of the book, and the night is rounded out with an indie disco from the DJs of the Common People club night.
Most people know Rowntree as the drummer for Blur. He was a founding member, playing with Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon in several Colchester bands in the late 1980s before Alex James joined on bass and the group became one of the UK's most successful and influential acts. They're credited with creating and then moving beyond Britpop, with nine studio albums, five BRIT Awards, millions of records, and two sold-out Wembley Stadium shows in 2023.
Away from the kit, he's lived a few different lives. He trained as a solicitor at Kingsley Napley, stood as a Labour candidate, and served as a county councillor. He's also worked in animation, law, politics, and film and television composition, and was heavily involved in the Beagle 2 Mars mission. His solo album Radio Songs came out on Cooking Vinyl in 2023, and No-One You Know is the book he's here to talk about.
