The Bungalow has the very talented tribute band Ocean Colour Scheme on tonight. The band are of course a tribute to Ocean Colour Scene who 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. This is a night to singalong to Drive Away, You Got It Bad, Riverboat Song and Robin Hood. Tickets will be on the door from 7pm.
