EUROS FEVER

The Carmarthenshire musician, who has featured on the last two Teenage Fanclub albums, heads east for the first gig of a tour ahead of his forthcoming album Beehive Beach.

“This tour will mark Euros’ return to the stage with a band for the first time in seven years,” reads the promo.

“He’ll be joined by long term collaborators Stephen Black (aka Sweet Baboo) Stuart Kidd (Kidd, The Wellgreen) and Selma French (Morgonrode, Frokedal).

“Expect a show full of life, zest and humour that draws on Euros' extensive back catalogue as well as songs from his forthcoming album.”

Doors open at 7.30pm with tickets costing £20.
