From his band The Bible in the 80s, countless projects (including his work with Fairground Attraction's Eddi Reader), and, of course, his solo work, Boo Hewerdine is well known and celebrated for his songs and performances across the UK and further.
Recent reviews have cited his work as being 'tender and wistful,' and Total Entertainment saying 'Albums like “Understudy” prove that music doesn’t have to be hard-hitting to be powerful. They just need to come from the heart and if there is one thing you can say about Hewerdine and this album is that it is an album that couldn’t be more honest and straight from the heart if it tried. A truly beautiful record from start to finish.'
While he is no stranger to Sheffield, this will be his first time on stage at The Lantern Theatre.
