Event information

Martin Bramah, original Fall guitarist formed Blue Orchids in 1979. Several singles followed plus an album selling over 10,000 copies, Peel sessions, tours with Echo & The Bunnymen, Nico and in their own right. They split mid 80s, reforming occasionally. This is their first Brighton gig for over 30 years.

'At their absolute best a formidable cross between early Talking Heads and The Fall at their most bitter and nerve-wrenching, the Blue Orchids can be gutterally electric and folkishly melancholy at the same time and within the same space'- Barney Hoskyns, NME, 1982.

'Some of the most visionary music of its era'- Simon Reynolds, Rip It Up and Start Again, 2009.

Purveyors of witty post punk, Fractured support.
