SWEET BABOO + Bright Light Rooney at The Swan & Royal

So It Goes presents Sweet Baboo at The Swan & Royal

We are delighted to welcome SWEET BABOO to Clitheroe, in support of his latest album 'The Wreckage', which is one of our favourite albums of 2023 so far.

Sweet Baboo is the alter ego of North Walian musician and songwriter Stephen Black. His career has spanned over 2 decades and has seen him release 7 albums to date to critical acclaim. ‘The Wreckage’ was released in January 2023 on his own Amazing Tapes from Canton Label to glowing reviews.

‘One of Wales’s finest modern songwriters. His music is charming and flecked with magic. The Guardian October 2022’

“You can hear how tenderly it’s been shepherded.” - ★★★★ Mojo

“Sly humour but the conviction of a sombre-faced balladeer” - 8/10 Uncut

“If OMD wrote songs about inept gardeners rather than Joan of Arc” - ★★★★ Shindig!

One of ‘music’s underappreciated heroes’ (Record Collector) his live shows are profoundly entertaining, full of catchy hooks, melodies and delight.

Support comes from BRIGHT LIGHT ROONEY

Gorgeous alt-folk duo from Glasgow/Clitheroe/Salford & Beyond. We couldn't think of a better opening to the evening.
