Preview: Ocean Colour Scene @ Doncaster Racecourse
By robwatchmovies on Saturday, June 17, 2017
Ocean Colour Scene are sure to be massive crowd pleasers when they appear live after racing at Doncaster Racecourse on Saturday 5th August.
The Birmingham band's story is already the stuff of legend: a rip-roaring rock'n'folk odyssey set to a backdrop of 23 years of UK pop culture at its very best.
In this 23-year existence, Ocean Colour Scene have notched up nine albums, three of which went Top 5 – 1996's Moseley Shoals, 1997's Marchin' Already and 1999's One From The Modern – and a run of nine successive Top 20 hit singles commencing with 1996's The Riverboat Song.
They supported Oasis at their massive Knebworth shows that same year, and two years later helmed the biggest arena tour of any UK band to date. Their achievements have been nothing short of phenomenal.
From their days as Breton-shirt wearing disciples of The Stone Roses (debut single 'Sway') to million selling Britpop superstars ('Marchin' Already' bumped Oasis' 'What the Story' from the top spot in 1997) to long-term touring allies with Paul Weller, they have always stood shoulder to shoulder with the greats of modern British rock.
