New Wave Heroes: Pure Weller + Radio Costello

PURE WELLER:

The ultimate tribute to Paul Weller’s amazing career – from the early days of The Jam through the seminal works of The Style Council and his illustrious solo output.

This high-octane 4-piece pride themselves on their live sound and stage presence that takes audiences through five decades of passion, unforgettable lyrics and those sing-your-heart-out choruses.

Main man Marcus has got bags of charisma and a belter of a voice, but this is very much a team effort with every member of this super-tight four-piece actively playing their part.

These lads absolutely smashed it in front of 1000+ people when they played recently with the Southmartins at Middlesbrough Town Hall. If you saw it we’re sure you’ll be here tonight. If you weren’t there – come see what you missed!

 

RADIO COSTELLO

We thought long and hard about what would make an interesting pairing with Pure Weller.

These seem like the perfect answer…

Introducing Radio Costello - a belting 4-piece Birmingham-based tribute to Elvis Costello & the Attractions, who’ll be making their North East debut with this show tonight at ARC.

The setlist celebrates the classic songs that Costello made with the Attractions at the back end of the 70s, a period that many would view as the highlight of his long and varied career. Expect Oliver's Army, Pump it Up, I Can't Stand Up for Falling Down, High Fidelity, Watching the Detectives, Good Year for the Roses, Radio Radio and many more in a blisteringly energetic live show.
