About this event

Musings and Lyrics: An intimate evening of songs, stories & silliness in the company of Nik Kershaw is on Saturday 27 February 2027 at Parkhouse Centre, Bude, with doors at 18:30. Tickets start at £92.88, including the booking fee.

Nik Kershaw exploded onto the UK pop scene in 1984. A string of global hit singles including ‘Wouldn’t it Be Good’, ‘The Riddle’ and ‘I Won’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me’ saw him languish for 62 weeks on the UK Singles Chart, making him the UK's biggest selling solo artist that year. In 1985, he performed at Live Aid. After stepping out of the limelight to concentrate on writing and producing, Nik wrote Chesney Hawkes’s ‘The One and Only’ and collaborated with Elton John, Lulu, Petula Clark, The Hollies, Ronan Keating, Jason Donovan, Let Loose, Sia, Imogen Heap, Gary Barlow and Bonnie Tyler. In 1998, Nik returned to performing and has been crafting critically acclaimed albums ever since. Now he’s ready to look back with an intimate evening to coincide with the release of his new book. Expect songs, stories, and silliness from one of the nation’s most-loved performers. Standard Seats are Unreserved. Premium/Meet'n'Greet tickets include front rows. High quality bar and food available from 6.30pm. Cash raffle to support a local good cause.

Leicesterval: Leicester Indiepop Weekender 2027

Firebug Bar · Leicester

Fifteen years. That's how long we'll have been doing this by the time the 2027 edition rolls around, our third weekender growing ever upwards and outwards. Saturday runs from 2pm to around 10.30pm followed by an indiepop disco with some special guest DJs at Duffy's Bar (round the corner on Pocklingtons Walk) until gone 1am. Then we reconvene on Sunday from 3pm to 8.30pm. ALSO: we're adding a FREE warm-up on Friday 26th February at Duffy's, with PINK OPAQUE (Sheffield synth spangliness), VELVET CRISIS (unapologetic garage punk from the Riotous Collective stable), MY LO-FI HEART (Sheffield DIY electronics) and THE SUNBATHERS (landlocked shoreline wistfulness), TBC but likely 7pm-10.30pm. SATURDAY: LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS Emerging out of Belfast, Language Of Flowers spent the mid-2000s gaining a reputation for their their post-C86 band of classic janglepop songwriting. Reforming in 2025 they don't play live that often, which makes a return to where it partly began a special occasion. BRITISH BIRDS Our co-headliners' DIY observationally mounted psych-garage-pop stew is gathering speed around their third album and first on Skep Wax, Murmurate, Oscillate, and their energetic live reputation...
