We are delighted to welomce the highly-regarded Mel Outsider Reformation to play their debut gig in our intimate basement blues bar.The Mel Outsider Reformation are set to play their debut gig at Temperance. They are based in Lancashire but have a free date on their way back from playing the 100 Club in London. They have heard great things about Temperance, are keen to play and have agreed to make this a ‘free gig’ with generous donation at the end. Spaces are limited and we are expecting a full-house! This is going to be another cracking gig.
Mel Outsider, flamboyant frontman, songwriter and the inspiration behind The Mel Outsider Reformation is a veritable UK musical heavyweight. For over five decades he has continued to be a mainstay of the north west music scene in his native Lancashire and beyond. Producer, mover and shaker and rock’n’roll groover, he’s rubbed shoulders with a myriad of famous and infamous rockers, blues performers, singer-songwriters but somehow he’s managed to maintain a defiantly positive and upbeat attitude so everything he does is touched with a little hard won magic.
