Beyond The Bassline: Lightning Seeds supported by The Farm

35 years after the very first Lightning Seeds singles made their way to record shops, Ian Broudie’s obsession with melody and the magic of recording is a matter of… well not just one record, but a golden run of hits which tells its own story: Pure, Lucky You, The Life Of Riley, Change, Perfect, You Showed Me and Sugar Coated Iceberg have long since become modern standards alongside the definitive football anthem Three Lions, whose four spells at number one have made it one of the 30 best-selling British singles of all time. It’s a story which Broudie finally put into words with the release of last year’s acclaimed memoir Tomorrow’s Here Today – which now also happens to be the name of his group’s first ever career-spanning anthology. Comprising twenty fan favourites alongside brand new music, Tomorrow’s Here Today is to be released alongside a programme of long-overdue vinyl releases for classic Lightning Seeds albums, Cloudcuckooland, Sense, Dizzy Heights and Tilt. These will now stand alongside 1994’s Jollification which enjoyed its own 25th anniversary reissue in 2019.
