Regarded as one of the UK’s most distinguished and original songwriters, Graham and his backing band The Rumour were at the forefront of the new wave artists who were around at the time of the punk explosion.

His career has spanned over 40 years and was recently reinvigorated when acclaimed US film producer and director Judd Apatow cast Parker in his hit film This Is 40, featuring a performance by GP & The Rumour that signalled the band to reform to play a series of now legendary concerts.

Bromsgrove audiences can expect songs from early albums with the Rumour, including picks from the re-worked Squeezing Out Sparks solo acoustic 40th anniversary album (released March 2019), his solo career (Cloud Symbols) and tunes from recent Rumour reunion albums.

Graham Parker at Artrix on Thursday 28th November at 8pm will feature support from Stephen Wilson Jnr.
