Known around the world as the driving force behind Liverpool indie trailblazers The Pale Fountains and Shack, singer-songwriter Michael Head brings his group The Red Elastic Band to Brewery Arts to play tracks from their stomping new LP ‘Loophole’, plus some familiar favourites.

62 years of music, loves, losses, long summer days and longer, darker nights are vividly recalled by ‘our greatest living songwriter’, Michael Head and The Red Elastic Band as he plays out flickering scenes from his life on new album, Loophole.

Matching happiness with creativity and hitching his faith in love to a new era of productivity, Head will release his second solo album with The Red Elastic Band less than two years after 2022’s remarkable, universally acclaimed Dear Scott. Thanks, in part, to the memory-jolting joy and frequent shocks found in the process of writing his memoirs, Head wrote and recorded at career-record-breaking pace, finding that those places, faces and voices from the past have all rushed to take their place amongst the 12 new songs heard across Loophole.

Following up December’s standalone single, ‘Ciao Ciao Bambino’, Head now sets the countdown to Loophole’s release, running with new single, ‘Shirl’s Ghost’.

With no shortage of fervour amongst his long-term listeners and those discovering him anew following Dear Scott’s success, fans have the chance of gathering to hear many of the songs that sang their lives.

“Every critic’s favourite Liverpool mystic has become unstoppable.” ***** Record Collector
