A very special acoustic show with Mark Morriss & Adam Devlin of Britpop legends The Bluetones. The band, formed in 1993, had an impressive run of hit singles throughout the late 90's/early 00's, including ’Bluetonic’, ‘Slight Return’, ‘Marblehead Johnson’, ‘Solomon Bites The Worm’, ‘If’ and ‘Keep the Fires Burning’. They scored thirteen Top 40 singles and three Top 10 albums in the UK charts before splitting up in 2011. Join frontman Mark Morriss alongside band mate Adam Devlin as they "Cut Some Rug" on stage together at this very intimate show.

Hailing from the midlands and west of Ireland, the trio take inspiration from artists such as John Prine, Paolo Nutini, Ye Vagabonds, Talos, as well as others, and despite being in their infancy, they have already gained a strong core following from playing intimate live gigs.

As most bands do, Caleb, Kieran, Ashton and Peppa came together through blooming friendships and lucky connections. A few jams later, the bond was cemented and their debut gig in Caleb's dad's backyard kicked it all off. In the year that followed, Freo's very own garage-pop outfit Spacey Jane went from backyards to bright lights, sharing the stage with the likes of Car Seat Headrest, Nothing But Thieves, Alex Lahey, The Jungle Giants & more, along with Australian festival appearances at Splendour in the Grass, Falls Festival, Yours & Owls and WA Day's SOTA Festival.
