Tommy Scott Duo (Space)

Tickets from £25 + booking fee

Gone in hours. Back by demand.

The first Tommy Scott Duo date sold out in record time. Just a few hours, all through priority access, without ever reaching general sale. With demand like that, we just had to get them back.

Tommy Scott and Phil Hartley return to Whitetail @ The Hart on Wednesday 13 October 2027 for a second Redditch Revival date in 2027. If you missed out on January's tickets, this is another chance to see the duo up close in Headless Cross.

Tommy Scott is the lead singer and songwriter of Space, the Liverpool band who arrived in 1995 and spent the next few years making some of the most gleefully odd pop music of the era. Female of the Species, Neighbourhood, Dark Clouds, Me and You Versus the World, Avenging Angels, The Ballad of Tom Jones, Begin Again. Hit after hit, none of them quite sounding like anyone else.

The albums did the same. Spiders and Tin Planet both went top ten and both went double platinum in the UK, and between them the band have sold five million records worldwide. When Demon Records and BBC Music reissued the pair on limited edition coloured vinyl to mark the twenty fifth anniversary, a whole generation went digging through the loft to find their original copies.

For this show, Tommy is joined by Phil Hartley, Space's bass player and producer, for the stripped back duo format the pair have been touring in recent years. Both sing, both play acoustic guitar, and there's bespoke instrumentation running underneath to give the songs room to breathe without losing what made them special in the first place. It's the hits, the fan favourites, and a handful of Tommy's own songs from the Tommy Scott Quintet album Marionette.

That's the appeal of a room this size. Songs you've known for decades, played a few feet in front of you, by the man who wrote them.

Space are still very much a going concern. Their seventh studio album, Music for Pleasure Music for Pain, was recorded at their own Liverpool studio and mastered at Abbey Road, with Phil Hartley engineering and producing alongside the rest of the band. It's been widely described as a return to the spirit of those first two records. The album before it, Give Me Your Future, was produced by Grammy and Brit award winning producer Steve Levine, whose credits include The Clash, Culture Club and The Beach Boys.
