Event information
An evening with Wreckless Eric.
Wreckless Eric is Eric Goulden. He was given the name to hide behind. After a while he realised he was stuck with it. Onstage he hides behind nothing, he tells the truth with big open chords, squalls of feedback, lilting enchantment, bizarre stories and backchat.
“One of the greatest songwriters ever to come out of Great Britain” Marc Riley BBC 6 MUSIC
“Wreckless Eric has always been a pop musician. That is, he writes melodies with hooks in the chorus and fills his verses with quick, vivid details aimed to make you nod your head in recognition. The precise nostalgia and wry yearning he brings to this slice of autobiography rings true, funny and poignant.” Ken Tucker, NPR/Fresh Air
“Like Ray Davies, Kevin Ayers and Ian Dury, he is a truly great British songwriter” – MOJO magazine
Nothing Eric has to say sounds like it was said by someone else first. Some people can’t take it. Forty years of touring have left him in good shape. He’s coming to town.
