The Nightingales Live @ Glisky
About
Legendary Birmingham punk band, The Nightingales, head up north to Kendal as part of their 'Off The Beaten Track' tour, this coming May.The Nightingales were formed from the ashes of the Prefects (The Clash’s ‘White Riot Tour’) and enjoyed cult status in the ’80’s as darlings of the credible music scene and being continually championed by Peel. The band re-grouped in 2004 and have since released a dozen critically acclaimed albums and regularly toured the USA and Europe, from Scotland to Serbia.
Support comes from cult stand-up comedian Ted Chippington. Chippington avoids observational comedy in favour of anti-humour and jokes which are mostly variations on the same theme. He also frequently performs his own versions of well-known songs in a similarly listless style. Stewart Lee has often cited Chippington as the reason he began stand-up comedy.
