It's Great When You're Straight... Yeah! @ 30

Black Grape

Black Grape appearing at this event

Following the demise of Happy Mondays, Shaun Ryder formed Black Grape and had even greater success. Their infectious blend of rap-meets-pop won over the Britpop audience and dance lovers alike. Teaming up with Kermit (ex-Ruthless Rap Assassins), Black Grape's 1995 debut platinum album 'It's Great When You're Straight...Yeah' charted at number one and spawned three hit singles. Then, a decade after second album 'Stupid Stupid Stupid', Shaun and the boys returned with 2017's top 20 album 'Pop Voodoo' and continue to be a thrilling live experience.

The first time round, Dodgy were only together for seven years but in that time they sold over a million records worldwide, released three albums and 12 Top 40 singles, including 3 Top 10s and the Top 5 hit 'Good Enough', still a staple of the Radio 2 playlist. Now back together, the definitive line up of Nigel Clark, Andy Miller and Mathew Priest bring us those catchy summer hits including 'Staying Out For The Summer' and 'In A Room'. 'Dodgy's new album is a revelation’ (The Guardian).
