Gomez

With special guest Mr Wayne Aderson.

Formed in the latter half of the 1990s, British band GOMEZ started in the minds of lifelong friends Ian Ball and Olly Peacock, whose common obsession with music and lack of enthusiasm for the Manchester ‘baggie’ scene enthused them to move away from the current trends and forge a band with its own significant identity.

Bringing on board Ben Ottewell, Tom Gray (vocals, guitar, keyboards) and Paul Blackburn (bass, guitar) over the following year, the new 5-piece developed their unusual three-vocalist style which despite its incongruent workings, quickly established the distinctive GOMEZ sound.

Through the 90s and into the millennium the group continued to cultivate their talents, releasing a total of 5 studio albums, all of which received widespread critical acclaim – debut Bring It On picking up the Mercury Music Prize for Album Of The Year in ’98 - and with releases such as Liquid Skin selling over a quarter of a million in just 3 months, they also gained notable commercial success.

This is definitely a show not to be missed!
