Ocean Colour Scene acoustic at The Apex

In 2015, Ocean Colour Scene celebrated their 25th anniversary with a sold-out acoustic tour of some of the most prestigious concert halls.

Now 10 years later, OCS’s Simon and Oscar (pictured above) are continuing the theme with a tour of intimate venues and are due at The Apex, in Bury St Edmunds, next month.

The shows are the latest chapter in a remarkable career that’s seen Ocean Colour Scene rise from Breton shirt-wearing Stone Roses disciples to one of Britpop’s biggest bands (their 1998 arena tour was the biggest by any UK group that year).

In their 35 years together, they’ve enjoyed five Top 10 albums, six Top 10 singles and a mantelpiece full of awards.

But behind all the swagger and the style were great songs, with words and melodies that found their way into your head and heart.

It’s time to hear these songs again, stripped back but every bit as brilliant.

 The Apex is the perfect stage for their acoustic performances of big hits, anthems and choice cuts, including “The Riverboat Song”, “The Circle”, “Traveller’s Tune”, “Hundred Mile High City” and “The Day We Caught The Train”.

Simon and Oscar are at The Apex on Thursday, October 16, at 7.30pm.
