MARTIN STEPHENSON & THE DAINTEES
‘Boat To Bolivia’ 40th Anniversary Tour
+ special guest Nicola Madill

Martin Stephenson & The Daintees hail from the North East of England. Their debut single ‘Roll On Summertime’ was released in 1982 on Kitchenware Records (home of Prefab Sprout, The Kane Gang, Hurrah!).

‘Boat To Bolivia’ was the debut album by Martin Stephenson & The Daintees. After appearances on Channel 4’s ‘The Tube’ and BBC2’s ‘Whistle Test’ the album went on to become one of the essential releases of 1986.

Reviews were fantastic with The Observer declaring that ‘Boat To Bolivia’ was “…the most striking debut since Dexys Midnight Runners”, Record Mirror enthusing that “This is an album to savour and cuddle tightly to your breast” and the NME considering it “A wonderful record which you should consider buying”.

Martin Stephenson & The Daintees will be performing the ‘Boat To Bolivia’ album in full and in sequence along with other favourites from their extensive career.

SUPPORT – NICOLA MADILL

“Sublime, refined and atmospheric Americana folk with a dark gothic heart from one of the east coast’s most engaging emergent singer/songwriters.” – Derrick Johnston
