Ocean Colour Scene to play this summer gig at Scarborough Spa

Scarborough Spa has announced that Ocean Colour Scene will be performing in the Grand Hall this summer.

Ocean Colour Scene are heading for Scarborough Spa’s Grand Hall for a summer gig.

Ocean Colour Scene’s rip-roaring live shows have long been one of the most extraordinary sights in modern rock - communal outpourings of hope and joy which boast the most life-affirming sing-a-longs you’ll ever hear.

The band remains one of the most successful – and most loved-bands of the modern era.

Having spent six years fine-tuning their sound, they lit up the Britpop party, chalking up three top five albums – 1996’s Moseley Shoals, 1997’s Marchin’ Already and 1999’s One From The Modern and a run of nine successive Top 20 single’s including the immortal The Riverboat Song.

They have had 17 top 40 singles and six top 10 singles).

In the years since they’ve honed their craft in the spirit of the soul, folk and blues greats who inspired them- returning the favour in 2018 when they took Martha Reeves and the Vandellas out on tour. “We couldn’t quite believe that Martha Reeves was supporting us, it seemed absurd,” says Simon Fowler. “But our crowd loved it, she went down really well.”

Ocean Colour Scene will play the Grand Hall on Friday July 21.
