The small but perfectly formed Nik Kershaw and his fabulous band are pleased to announce intimate festival warm-up shows at O2 Academy, Oxford on Friday 28th June, Epic in Norwich Saturday 29th<\/sup> June, and Roadmender in Northampton on Friday 12th<\/sup> July.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There will be a distinct lack of dance moves, lasers, pyrotechnics, Jazz hands or anything remotely to do with \u201cshowbusiness\u201d.  Very little sartorial effort will be made (minimal sequins or spandex). Just expect a great band, playing great songs, up close and in your face. It might get sweaty!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just Hitz \u2013 You know the ones: Wouldn\u2019t it be Good, The Riddle, I won\u2019t let the sun go down on me, Dancing Girls, Wide Boy, Human Racing, Don Quixote, yada,yada,yada, and other Bitz, highlights from Nik\u2019s 9 studio albums and his career as a songwriter.  Maybe even the odd cheeky cover version. Who knows?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t miss this rare chance to see the man once described by Elton John as \u201cthe best songwriter of his generation\u201d (disclaimer\u2013Elton may have been off his tits when he said it).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NIK KERSHAW \u2013 June & July 2024 shows include:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday 28th<\/sup> June               OXFORD \u2013 O2 Academy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
