SCOTT LAVENE + support Jason Vegas Butler

"Full of great poignant, funny and sad songs that display the man’s great writing talents. At times he’s David Bowie, Syd Barrett and Ian Dury at the same time.” ––Louder Than War
A born storyteller, through his records and his writing Scott Lavene has long been populating a hallucinogenic world of his own creation with ne’er do wells, ragamuffins and eccentrics. With the recent release of his exceptional third album 'Disneyland In Dagenham', Lavene heads out on the road again, having just done a circuit of the UK in support of The Hold Steady’s Craig Finn.
"Mordant, spivvy, pop-punk TMI gabble about the urgency and futility of it all from lyrical Essex motormouth." ––MOJO
“Think Baxter Dury’s warped kid brother.” ––The Times
“Sounds like an updated version of something that Stiff records would have released in the 70’s.” ––Steve Lamacq

Jason Butler is a bonafide wordsmith, a spoken word poet and veteran hiphop MC based in Cornwall. He has headlined poetry stages at festivals and venues across the South West and was a finalist in the national Outspoken Poetry Prize, BBC Urban Music awards and the Glastonbury poetry slam.
His work spans topics from heartfelt and anecdotal to political and the absurd. Also, if asked nicely he’ll merrily weave an improvised verse from thin air. His first collection of poetry “Miscellany of One” was published in 2023.
