Britpop icons Ocean Colour Scene headline Wrexham show in aid of hospice
Britpop legends Ocean Colour Scene are set to bring their iconic sound to Wrexham this spring for a special open-air concert in aid of Nightingale House Hospice.
The band will take to the stage on Llwyn Isaf (The Library Field) on Monday, May 4 as part of this year’s Focus Wales music festival. The concert forms part of Ocean Colour Scene’s 30 year celebration of their triple platinum album ‘Moseley Shoals’, home to unforgettable hits such as Riverboat Song, The Circle, and The Day We Caught the Train.
With seventeen Top 40 singles and six Top 10s to their name, Ocean Colour Scene remain one of the most successful and beloved bands of the modern era.
Having honed their craft over six years before exploding onto the Britpop scene, Ocean Colour Scene released three Top 5 albums and chalked up nine successive Top 20 singles.
Inspired by the soul, folk, and blues legends who shaped them, the band have continued to refine their sound and returned the favour in 2018 when they toured with Martha Reeves & The Vandellas, thrilling audiences with their legendary performances.
All profits from the ticket sales will go directly to Nightingale House Hospice and supporting patients and families living with a life-limiting illness.
Andy Jones, head of music at FOCUS Wales said: “We’re excited to be bringing such a special show to Wrexham in support of Nightingale House Hospice, and we’re hoping the whole community show their support for such an important cause.”
Elise Jackson, Events and Campaigns Manager at Nightingale House, added: “We are absolutely thrilled to be part of this incredible event.
“Ocean Colour Scene are true legends, and thanks to FOCUS Wales, this concert will not only celebrate amazing music but also raise vital funds for Nightingale House.
“Every ticket sold will help ensure our patients and their families receive the care and support they need when it matters most.”
Ocean Colour Scene will perform on Llwyn Isaf (the Library Field) in Wrexham city centre on Monday, 4 May. Tickets go on sale at 10am on Thursday, 19 February.
