Shaun Ryder to perform in Stourbridge as part of national tour
Melon-twisting indie icon Shaun Ryder will tell tales of his “mad life” on a national tour which stops off in Stourbridge.
The former Happy Mondays and Black Grape frontman – who has also appeared on Celebrity Gogglebox and I’m A Celeb - is hitting the road for a new spoken word tour.
There will be a date at Stourbridge Town Hall on Wednesday September 25 next year, with tickets on sale at 10am tomorrow (Fri) and expected to be snapped up quickly.
He’s touring in support of his new book, titled Happy Mondays - and Fridays and Saturdays and Sundays.
Shaun Ryder said:
“I have certainly had a bit of a mad life and I can’t wait to share all my stories from Happy Mondays, Black Grape and beyond.
“This is me at my most honest. Nothing is off the table – expect the unexpected and prepare for me to twist your melons, man.”
Kelly Martin, venue manager for Stourbridge Town Hall, said:
“He’s the wild man of rock who became a national treasure.
“Shaun will talk candidly about his hedonistic life in the music industry, his successful TV career, and everything in between.
“Fans can look forward to a carnival of excess, wild tales, and improbable truths, as they enjoy the talents of a unique rock'n'roll star dubbed Britpop's answer to WB Yeats.”
Tickets start from £30, with special VIP and Meet & Greet tickets also available.
