A Brit rock icon is set to perform in Kidderminster this year.
Kidderminster Town Hall has announced that Steve Cradock, from Ocean Colour Scene, will be visiting the venue as part of his 25-date solo tour of the UK.
As a member of Ocean Colour Scene, Steve is responsible for some of the most distinctive riffs of the past 30 years from The Riverboat Song to The Day We Caught the Train.
Hundred Mile High City gained the band further fame, when it was used in Guy Richie’s most iconic film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels in 1998.
Kidderminster Town Hall said: "OCS was founded in 1989 by Steve, Simon Fowler, Damon Michella, and Oscar Harrison in Solihull, West Midlands. They rose to fame during the height of the Brit rock renaissance, had five top 10 albums, and played in front of 250,000 people at Oasis’s seminal Knebworth Park gigs in 1996.
"Cradock went on to establish himself further when he joined Paul Weller’s band in 1992, appearing on all his studio albums. He also joined the Iconic Ska band The Specials in 2014 until the death of Terry Hall in 2022.
"In his debut tour, Steve will be playing and performing hits from the OCS songbook, highlights from his extensive solo career, and will also be discussing some of the topics his fans are most curious about."
Steve will be performing at Kidderminster Town Hall on April 4.
He said: "It’s a great time for me reflect on my career and share the stories and songs of the last 25 years – I can’t wait."
Making the announcement, Kidderminster Town Hall said: "Rock and roll royalty. No words necessary here, we'll let the riff speak for itself."
