05 - 15 Nov 2020
In November this year Nigel Clark, Andy Miller and Mathew Priest will take to the stage together again for the first time in almost a decade, to perform as Dodgy.
Over Dodgy’s six-year rise to fame they released three albums and 12 Top 40 singles, including 3 Top 10s and the Top 5 hit ‘Good Enough’, still a staple of Radio playlists. In 1996 Dodgy sold out the Brixton Academy for two nights in a row and were awarded an unprecedented 90-minute Saturday evening slot on the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury Festival.
Live performance was always integral to the Dodgy experience. When the band first formed they started the Dodgy Club so that once a month they were guaranteed a sold out gig. A dedicated touring band - in one year early on their career they played almost 300 shows – Dodgy built a devoted and loyal fan base, and tried to involve their audience in a live experience that was more than just watching a group over the rim of a pint glass. Their positive attitude and summery songs made Dodgy the perfect festival band, and it was such a natural habitat for the trio that in 1996 they conceived their very own Big Top Tour.
It was the desire to return to this festival vibe that was a strong contributing factor to the band’s reunion, playing songs such as Staying Out For The Summer, So Let Me Go Far, Making The Most Of, Lovebirds, Water Under The Bridge, CSN&Y cover Find The Cost Of Freedom, In A Room and the epic Grassman. The pull is so strong that even original keyboard player Richard Payne is flying back from his new home in Australia especially for the tour.
