Gustaffson return to St Oswald’s Church Warrington for a one off night & special acoustic gig. Fresh out of the studio after recording their debut album with Elbow’s Craig Potter producing and featuring Emmy-winning composer Bear McCreary (Outlander) & Sir Ben Kingsley.
They will be performing brand new tracks from their upcoming album and last year’s EP ‘The Jacaranda’.
This will be our first gig in Warrington and it should be a really special night at St Oswald’s Church. What an incredible venue to play music in. We are delighted they have welcomed us back after filming our latest live video ‘Flowers’ in the Church November last year. If you’re local come down and say hello.
Get ready for Gustaffson‘s final gig for 2023! It takes place at The 100 Club in London on a very special date: Andrew Gower‘s 34th birthday!
They will be joined on stage by Kieran Hodgson, who Scarleteers will recognize from his memorable guest appearance as Rupert Parker’s special friend Dr. Moorhouse in Miss Scarlet & The Duke‘s initial season.
Scottish singer/songwriter and composer Genevieve Dawson will be another special guest for the evening which is hosted by British actor and presenter Cel Spellman.
Less than two months before the premiere of the penultimate Outlander season, fans are in for a special treat as two stars of the time-travelling hit series are teaming up for a special event.
Andrew Gower, who famously played Bonnie Prince Charlie, talked to Express.co.uk about his upcoming London gig with his band Gustaffson.
The whole evening, we’re excited about, it’s not just a gig, it’s also a variety of things we really believe in as artists.
Andrew Gower will be joined on stage by Caitlin O’Ryan, who plays Lizzie Wemyss on Outlander.
[Caitlin] is an amazing spoken word artist and from a neighbouring northern town from Oldham, I’m from Liverpool. She’s opening the event and she’ll be performing some spoken word. […] It’s absolutely incredible. […] Similar to [Laoghaire MacKenzie actress] Nell Hudson, they both went to the same drama school as me. So we all went to The Oxford School of Drama.
Gustaffson will further be supported on stafe by singer/songwriter Martha Goddard and Gaia Ahuja from Girls Don’t Sync.
At the event funds will be raised for the Al-Khidmat Foundation in Pakistan, which helps orphans and widows as well as giving students access to education.
I went back to do the season before last as the Bonnie Prince – and it’s really nice that some of the people I met at the premiere last year, I was never on set with them but we all just seemed to be a nice Outlander community, which is fantastic.
Even the likes of [composer] Bear McCreary from Outlander is responding to our work, so it’s been a really, really nice surprise for us.
Like all the Outlander family, as we say, every time we bring out a single, he reaches out and congratulates us and asks if we need any advice.
If Bear McCreary picks up the phone and asks me to do anything, I’ll be there. We’re trying to get him over to our London gig at some point.
Andrew Gower added the following about what’s in store for Gustaffson in the future:
We’ve got some plans to be up north in Liverpool and Manchester but this is our first London gig. I’m so excited. It feels about time.
We’re ready as a band to show them what we’ve got.
We’re ready to make an album but it’s in the works, but as an unsigned band, we’ve got the people ready to collaborate with, we’re just keeping our fingers crossed that somebody out there gives us the means to make it.
