Del Amitri
Del Amitri founding members Justin Currie and Iain Harvie are hitting the road for an intimate and unscripted evening of conversation.
The brand-new tour, featuring storytelling and reflection, is titled Del Amitri – 45 Years Of Modest Failure: An Evening of Conversation with Justin Currie & Iain Harvie – a nod to the band’s dry wit.
The tour kicks off on March 18, 2027, at Kidderminster Town Hall, and concludes on June 20 in Bude’s North Coast Arts.
The tour includes six nights in the band’s native Scotland.
As the driving creative force behind hits such as Roll to Me, Always the Last To Know, and Nothing Ever Happens, singer Justin and guitarist Iain have shared more than four decades of songwriting, world tours, and band history.
Now they are stepping away from the amps to share candid, hilarious, poignant, and sometimes absurd tales from life on the road and inside the studio. From their early Glasgow origins to international stardom, audiences will discover the true stories behind the music, the triumphs, and the challenges that shaped one of Scotland’s most enduring rock bands.
The second half of the show belongs to fans, who can bring their burning questions for a live, interactive Q&A session where no topic is off-limits.
Expect razor-sharp Scottish wit, honest insights, and a warm, unforgettable encounter with two music icons.
Justin says: “Having ventured into book tour world last year I was amazed by how enjoyable and heartwarming an evening of conversation with Del Amitri’s audience could be.
After years of rubbish stage patter, it felt like a release to be able to open up a little and have time to engage directly with people, if not breaking the fourth wall, then certainly installing a service hatch.
We look forward to seeing where the questions and conversations take us each night, no subject matter out of bounds except for what the name means.”
