Rob McCulloch UK Tour Dates

• 27th Feb 2009

Bolton-born Rob McCulloch taps into the folk music that he heard as a boy, his dad’s Elvis and Dylan records, and his mum’s albums of showtunes. But his biggest influences are men from the north west who combine singing and acting and comedy – men like the so-called ‘Bolton Bullfrog’ – Bernard Wrigley, the Bolton poet and comedian Hovis Presley, and even stand-up comic Alun Cochrane.

McCulloch’s first single Wandering is a powerhouse tale of ‘getting off your head out of boredom’, in a futile search for something better going on. Delivered in McCulloch’s signature raspy northern tones, reminiscent of early John Cooper-Clarke, Wandering is a Friday night anthem for any British town.
