'Madchester' giant's intimate gig in Mexborough

Bolton’s Bez first came to prominence during the 1990s as the maraca-wielding dancer with ‘Madchester’ giants The Happy Mondays and is also a former member of Black Grape.

He will be bringing his tour to The Gorilla Beer Hall, Canalside Industrial Estate, Unit 3, on Saturday, October 25.

Comically noted for neither his musical or dancing skills, in more recent years Bez has gained more acknowledgement for his TV appearances on Celebrity Big Brother, as well as Gogglebox, Masterchef and Dancing on Ice.

A spokesperson for his tour said: “Bez is scheduled to discuss his extraordinary life and career as a bad lad turned good.

“His conversational tour will touch on his passage from 20 to 30-something casualty to middle-aged with his roles of politician, eco warrior, and bee aficionado.”

The man himself said: “If you want to hear about me and the Happy Mondays, get down there and I’ll be singing my heart out.”

The one-night only gig runs from 7.30pm.

Tickets are priced at £21 plus booking fee.
