ABOUT THIS EVENT

Strap in for a night of gritty, gutsy blues-infused folk from a true cult hero. Pete Morton's Ghost of a Sailor Talking Blues is a must-see.

Forget the smooth-talking, radio-friendly singer-songwriters of today — Pete Morton is the real deal. His alter ego, The Ghost of a Sailor Talking Blues, is a ragged, rough-hewn vessel for Morton's lyrical prowess and gravel-voiced intensity. Expect a captivating, cathartic performance that cuts straight to the heart, backed by sparse, evocative instrumentation that'll have you itching to grab a whisky and get stuck in. This is music for the outcasts and night owls, best experienced in the suitably moody confines of Leicester's legendary The International. Just a short stroll from the city's main train station, it's the perfect spot to lose yourself in Morton's captivating storytelling. Tickets won't break the bank either, making this an unmissable night for any self-respecting lover of authentic, emotionally-charged Americana.
