Travellers Tunes - An Evening With Steve Cradock

Brit rock icon Steve Cradock will go on a 35-date solo tour of the UK next spring.

As a member of OCS, Steve is responsible for some of the most distinctive riffs of the past 30 years. The man gave us The Riverboat Song, Hundred Mile High City, and The Day We Caught the Train, helping propel the band to double-platinum glory with Moseley Shoals.

Hundred Mile High City gained the band further fame, when it was used in Guy Richie’s most iconic film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels in 1998.

OCS was founded in 1989 by Steve, Simon Fowler, Damon Michella, and Oscar Harrison in Solihull, West Midlands. They rose to fame during the height of the Brit rock renaissance, had five top 10 albums, and played in front of 250,000 people at Oasis’s seminal Knebworth Park gigs in 1996.

Cradock went on to establish himself further when he joined Paul Weller’s band in 1992, appearing on all his studio albums. He also joined the Iconic Ska band The Specials in 2014 until the death of Terry Hall in 2022. In his debut tour, Steve will be playing and performing hits from the OCS songbook, highlights from his extensive solo career, and will also be discussing some of the topics his fans are most curious about.

Steve said: “It’s a great time for me reflect on my career and share the stories and songs of the last 25 years – I can’t wait.”
