It’s been 30 years since the release of the universally acclaimed ‘Boat to Bolivia’ album on the legendary Kitchenware record label. To mark the anniversary Martin and the band are touring their rootsy rock anthems around the UK once again. Fresh off the back of his August ‘Dansette’ tour in which Martin would turn up at a fan’s house play side one of ‘Boat to Bolivia’ interspersed with stories and anecdotes and, after being fed, do the same with side two. What an experience! His appearance at the O2 Institute will be more conventional but never short of a story or two and dripping with charisma The Daintees shows are always great fun.
