Huey Morgan has added five more dates to The Fun Lovin' Criminal Tour this spring.
Hitting the road with his new band, the singer, songwriter, DJ, broadcaster and producer will now also head to Bournemouth on May 8, Bristol on May 9, Oxford on May 17, Birmingham on May 23 and Manchester on May 30. Tickets go on general sale at 10am on Friday (January 17).
The new shows will take place around his previously scheduled dates in Southampton, London, Leeds, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Carlisle, Nantwich, Exeter, Wells, Lincoln, Swansea, Milton Keynes, Cambridge, Holmfirth and Southend. Tickets for those gigs are on sale now.
The performances will feature Fun Lovin' Criminals songs, such as Scooby Snacks, The Fun Lovin’ Criminals, King Of New York, Big Night Out, Love Unlimited, Loco, Couldn’t Get It Right, as well as some new music. Introducing his new band, Morgan said:
"The guys in the band consist of Mateo DiFontaine, who was one of the original members of Fun Lovin Criminals. He’s on keys, turntables and lap steel guitar. One of my oldest friends and the godfather to my children who is simply called “King” is a singer in the Tangiers Blues Band, a group I founded in the late 1990s as a side gig with some friends in NYC. He’s on bass guitar and wisecracks.
"The new cats are tremendous additions to the vibe we bring to the live shows. Leon James on the trap kit is bringing taste and flavour to my tunes and his energy on the set we’ve been putting together is gonna highlight what a dynamic and stylistic drummer he is.
"On the keys, I looked for someone who had a working knowledge of funk, soul, rock, punk and hip-hop and wasn’t in jail. Adrian Gautrey kept getting recommended to me as a cat who could purr on B3 organ as well as all the other keys that round out the Huey sound. Y’all better respecognise.”
Morgan is best known as the frontman of American band Fun Lovin' Criminals, having led the group from 1993 to 2021. He is currently the host of The Huey Show on BBC Radio 6 Music.
He also has a handful of NYC Block Party DJ dates in the diary for January, February and April.
