Wreckless Eric at Poppy & Pint

Date: Fri 6th Nov
Time: 20:00

Wreckless Eric touring the UK in November to promote his new album ‘amERICa’ which is also out in the same month. He plays November 6 at the The Poppy & Pint.

“Wreckless Eric is a hero to all those of us who love a good kitchen sink drama set to music. He takes the strangeness in the everyday and sets it to song. Like Ray Davies, Kevin Ayers and Ian Dury, he is a truly great British songwriter” – Phil Alexander, editor in chief, MOJO magazine

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. Nothing Eric has to say sounds like it was said by someone else first.

Wreckless Eric returns with his first solo album in over a decade, ‘amERICa’ is autobiographical and personal - it deals with his experiences and relationship with the country he now lives in.

Soon to be reaching his fourth decade of touring, the ‘Whole Wide World’ songwriter reissued a number of LPs on Fire Records last year.
