Chase & Status – Bournemouth International Centre

Badly Drawn Boy – The 1865 Southampton
When I heard that Badly Drawn Boy was in town playing the Mercury Music Prize winning album ‘The Hour of The Bewilderbeast’ I knew I had to be there. That album was yet another big one for me back when I was starting to fine tune my musical choices thoughout the 90’s and 2000’s.
