Simon Fowler - Darwen Library Theatre

He’s the singer/songwriter who wrote the tunes for the Britpop generation. Simon Fowler, frontman for Ocean Colour Scene, penned The Riverboat Song, The Circle, The Day We Caught The Train, Moseley Shoals and many, many more.

Lining up alongside Oasis at Knebworth, he took his band from Birmingham to the height of 1990s fame. Writing the seminal, triple-platinum Moseley Shoals, as well as the number one follow-up, Marchin’ Already, Fowler will relive his best work during an evening of classic songs and stories.

He’ll also trace the origins of that work, taking fans on a compelling journey back to his pre-OCS days. Expect new songs and classic hits, fantastic tales and amusing anecdotes from one of Britpop’s central characters.
