Dodgy - 25 Years of Homegrown - Glasgow

CELEBRATING 25 YEARS OF ‘HOMEGROWN’

DODGY ANNOUNCE HUGE FEBRUARY & MARCH 2019 UK TOUR SUPPORT FROM BABYBIRD & TONY WRIGHT

"The band are really excited to be playing Homegrown in 2019 - we had such a
great time first time around & are looking forward to everyone
joining us again” Nigel Clark, Dodgy

Dodgy will play their album
HOMEGROWN in full plus other hits on a huge UK tour to celebrate the
25th anniversary of the release of their breakthrough, gold-selling
second album.

Dodgy were together for seven years in the 90’s,
releasing three albums totalling over a million sales worldwide. Their
1994 album Homegrown features the hit single ‘Staying Out for the
Summer’ which was the band’s first Top 20 hit single. They quickly
followed up in 1996 with album number three ‘Free Peace Sweet’ which
spawned the hits ‘In a Room’, ‘Good Enough’ (which is officially one of
the most played tracks on British radio in the last 20 years) and ‘If
You're Thinking of Me’.

Fast forward to 2018 and the band are
looking forward to celebrating the 25th anniversary of Homegrown and
have announced a major tour around the UK including a date at London’s
Shepherd’s Bush Empire. They will be supported on the tour by Babybird
who are best known for their Top 5 hit ‘You’re Gorgeous’ from their
gold-selling album ‘Ugly Beautiful’ and also Tony Wright, lead singer of
UK band Terrorvision, will be opening all the shows with a solo set.

As
well as playing Homegrown in its entirety on the 2019 tour, Dodgy will
be playing tracks from ‘Free Peace Sweet’, other hits and live
favourites.

Over
20 years ago Babybird started with the lo-fi years, consisting of five
Stephen Jones solo albums released in a nine month period. This, already
without even being signed to a record company, was never going to be
something that was part of 1990s indie britpop world. Then an album and
single went gold, Stephen was hounded and heckled out of Manchester for
being that ‘bleeding gorgeous bloke’, to settle in London. Then with the
recent help of Johnny Depp he recorded two albums in LA and the video
“Unloveable” (see it on youtube).

Tony Wright is best known as
the singer for Bradford rock band Terrorvision. However, when he's not
touring with Terrorvision, he writes, records and tours under his own
name with a setlist made up of songs he has written on his acoustic
guitar - some upbeat, some melancholic, but all thought-provoking.

To
say Tony is a busy man would be an understatement. In addition to his
three albums with his post-Terrorvision band ‘LaikaDog’, he has now
released two solo albums to date with a third one in the works.
‘Thoughts ’n’ All’ is just Tony and his acoustic guitar. The follow up,
‘Walnut Dash’, released last year brought the evolution of Tony with his
acoustic guitar and a full band.
