We’re  excited to be promoting an intimate show for The Lobster Boat Band, featuring David Tattersall (The Wave Pictures) and Howard Hughes (Coming Soon).

David Tattersall – frontman, singer, songwriter and guitarist from the splendid Wave Pictures – has teamed up with Howard Hughes from French popsters Coming Soon on The Lobster Boat, an album of folk acoustics, indie classics, and soft rocking hits, all wrapped up in a painting by his mum.

Like Happy For A While, David’s first solo album, The Lobster Boat is a limited edition vinyl-only release, including a digital download. The album features the title track (and radio smash), as well as the new single He Can See Her, available as a free download (along with a cover by Darren Hayman).

David and Howard will play songs old and new – including tracks from The Lobster Boat album. They will be joined by a full band including Franic Rozycki (The Wave Pictures).
