Levellers frontman Mark Chadwick to play solo show in Derbyshire
Mark Chadwick, frontman of The Levellers, will perform a solo show at a Derbyshire venue.
His performance at The Flowerpot, Derby on October 17 will include selections from his two solo albums, All the Pieces and Moment, and Levellers classics.
Mark is one of the UK’s most successful songewriters, having co-written 20 chart singles and six top 40 albums (including a Number 1) as part of the Levellers.
He has fronted the Levellers for more than 25 years, with whom he has enjoyed headline performances at Glastonbury in front of 300,000 people, Isle of Wight, Cambridge Folk Festival and many European events. In 2003, the Levllers created their own Beautiful Days Festival which takes place in August in Devon.
The Levellers were among the most popular indie bands of the early Nineties when their top 20 singles included Fifteen Years and Belaruse.
Phil Cudworth and Boz will be supporting Mark at The Flowerpot. Tickets cost £20; go to www.rawpromo.co.uk
*Mark willl return to Derbyshire for two acoustic shows with Levellers Collective at Buxton Opera House on March 11 and 12, 2025.
Six years ago the Levellers decided to do something a bit different with their extensive back catalogue. They reworked their songs - with producer John Leckie (We The Collective) and Sean Lakeman (Together All The Way) – teaming up with folk-rock band The Moulettes to put out two albums. A live album and DVD, recorded at Hackney Empire, will be released ahead of next year’s tour.
