SCOTT LAVENE
Songs and Anger and Redemption are delighted to welcome SCOTT LEVANE to Katie Fitzgerald's in Stourbridge on 30th January 2025 as part of his 2025 tour.
A born storyteller, through his records and his writing Scott Lavene has long been populating a hallucinogenic world of his own creation with ne’er do wells, ragamuffins and eccentrics.
From a man draining the blood of property agents in the aid of local businesses to a talking horse who travels
Europe selling hash, gambling and performing covers of Talking Heads.
New album Disneyland In Dagenham is
a record that tumbles together the autobiographical and the imagined, the
heart-breaking and the preposterous.
Scott has that rare ability to have you laughing out loud and feeling like crying in the same song.
This is a show not to be missed.

SCOTT DOONICAN
Scott Doonican brings his 2025 ONE MAN SHOW Tour back to Katie Fitzgerald's.
Expect silliness, shenanigans, singalongs and stories a-plenty.
As the charismatic frontman of the UK's hardest-working comedy band, 'The Bar-Steward Sons of Val Doonican', Scott Doonican is a debonair and theatrical performer with superb hair and more style than you could shake a Milan catwalk at. As a solo performer, Scott's 'One Man Show' shows are every bit as funny, dynamic and engaging as those with his band, and he is equally at ease in front of large festival crowds, as he would be in a theatre or down the pub. This is where Scott Doonican the story-teller, entertainer and consummate showman, gets the opportunity to take his band's extensive back-catalogue of comic-songs and perform them, stripped-back, on just his battered 'Workhorse' acoustic guitar or his little ukulele in his hand. Following, in the footsteps of his comedy-folk heroes (Mike Harding, Jasper Carrott, Billy Connolly, Richard Digance, Jake Thackeray et al), here, the Doonicans' side-splitting song-smithery, comes to the fore, often accompanied by with an abundance of cracking yarns, giving a charming insight to the inspiration behind them. He's on a mission to bring comedy-folk back to the masses for the 21st Century.
