Kirk Brandon announces Shrewsbury show
Experienced musician Kirk Brandon is heading out on tour again, with dates in Shrewsbury and Newcastle-under-Lyme on the bill.
Kirk is the voice of Spear of Destiny, Theatre of Hate and Dead Men Walking, with more than 15 studio albums and a career spanning over 30 years. He has enjoyed worldwide success with all three of the above bands as well as being the singer and songwriter in punk rockers The Pack.
Over the last nine years, Kirk has released five solo acoustic studio albums - called the Dutch Masters series - featuring collaborators such as Derek Forbes (Simple Minds), Slim Jim Phantom (Stray Cats), Mike Peters (The Alarm) and Clint Boon (Inspiral Carpets).
The latest of these, Dutch Masters Volume Five, included a James Bond theme and a Country and Western cover of a Ry Cooder tune.
Over the past two years Kirk has been joined by master cello player Sam Sansbury both in the studio and at live shows. And that is who he will play with on this, called the Akoustik Tour.
On April 7, the pair play at Shrewsbury's The Hive, before appearing at The Rigger in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire, on April 8.
