New Show Announcement: Roland Gift

We’re pleased to announce that Roland Gift will be playing the Hare & Hounds on Wednesday 3rd September.

Gift came to national attention with the release of the first Fine Young Cannibals album. Their single “Johnny Come Home” receiving it’s World Premiere via Tyne Tees’ ‘The Tube’ in 1985. Roland’s high, soaring voice was immediately recognizable, his style being influenced by classic soul singers yet immersed in the finest technology of the day.

It was with the second FYC album four years later, however, that the band saw “She Drives Me Crazy” become a World Wide Number 1 single and the most played record in the world that year.
