I’ll be playing songs from my No.1 debut solo album, I’ll be playing some stone cold classics from the mighty Oasis and I’ll be showcasing some of my new songs from my upcoming second solo album Why Me? Why Not. I’d love it if you could join us as it’s sure to be a biblical evening. P.S. I Love Hull!”
