Bill Bailey will be performing at Blackpool Opera House on 13th November. Tickets are priced from £29.50 and can be purchased from www.blackpoollive.co.uk Don’t forget to book your B&B accommodation – BOOK B&B ONLINE NOW

Featuring Bill’s trademark musical interludes, observations and stories of the road, DANDELION MIND will be based loosely on the theme of doubt (or will it?), following Bill from his real-life saga of being trapped by the ash cloud to barely contained rants about celebrity, TV, creationism & Michael Winner. He demonstrates new instruments, he sings an internet love song, a lament about punk heroes, Iranian hip-hop, & plays a mean folk-bouzouki. Thomas the Doubter gets a new look, Darwin’s curious obsessions and the myth of intelligent design worked over in Bill’s own surreal style.  Revisit the music of his youth with a French Disco re-work of Gary Numan’s  ‘Cars’, played in his own inimitable way, and maybe some Wurzels-based remixes of classic German techno.

In early 2010, and at the age of 31, the word-of-mouth chain of events that surrounded Rumer’s career began to pay dividends. She was found by her manager when he posted a question not at all related to music on his Facebook page: “Who Is The Most Underrated Person You Know?” Five separate people, none of whom knew each other, replied with the word ‘Rumer’. Having been signed to ATC Management, all corners of the industry quickly began angling for her signature. Then, in March, her hard work paid off, and Rumer finally signed to Atlantic Records.

Whilst Rumer is prepared for the comparisons with classic artists – the likes of Carole King and Karen Carpenter are certain to crop up – she is certainly not intimidated by them. “I’m not concerned with what’s musically popular or fashionable, really. All I wanted was to make something of quality that would stand the test of time, that people could come back to, and that was rooted in authenticity. Because that’s the kind of music I listen to.” It’s taken Rumer a long time to get here, but now she’s finally out of hiding, you’d be hard pressed to think she got lucky.

Rumer’s debut single Slow broke the top 20, showing that the mainstream is finally ready for a musician of her classic calibre.
