Happy Mondays frontman Shaun Ryder will perform a spoken word tour at Bridgwater Arts Centre on 31 October.

Shaun Ryder, frontman of Happy Mondays and Black Grape, will perform a spoken word tour at Bridgwater Arts Centre on Saturday, 31 October. The 80s rock icon became prominent as frontman of Happy Mondays, one of the best-known figures from Manchester's 'Madchester' music scene in the late 80s and early 90s, before finding further success with Black Grape. He has since become a familiar face on television, with appearances including Celebrity Gogglebox and I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, introducing him to a new generation.

The show will begin at 7.30pm and rather than a traditional gig, will see Ryder share stories and anecdotes from his extraordinary career. According to Bridgwater Arts Centre, the evening will be packed with 'outrageous anecdotes, behind-the-scenes stories, wild adventures' as well as Ryder's 'trademark wit and honesty'. The appearance supports his latest book, Happy Mondays – and Fridays and Saturdays and Sundays.
