Event information
Eric Goulden is known to many as Wreckless Eric, though most are unaware of his
prodigious recorded output since his beginnings on Stiff Records in the mid-seventies
His live performances are sonic journeys through time and space. Eric presents himself
alone if not simply with electric and acoustic guitars, and electronics of his own making.
Recent sets have focused on his two most recent albums, 2024’s
Leisureland
and its
predecessor,
Transience
, with readings from his autobiography,
A Dysfunctional
Success
. He tends to do what he wants to do rather than what might be expected. He’ll
most likely play his big hit from the seventies, the enduring
Whole Wide World,
and he
may play other songs from various careers,
but don’t expect a recreation of 1977 - the
past 47 years have made him so much more than that
Goulden has enjoyed a genuinely extraordinary career.
