Enduring indie pop band fronted by Ian Durie
Lightning Seeds are the brainchild of writer, singer, guitarist and producer Ian Broudie. Ian originally emerged from the post punk Liverpool music scene of the late seventies playing in the band Big in Japan which in turn led to him producing several bands, starting with Echo & The Bunnymen.
In 1989 Ian as released his debut album as the Lightning Seeds Cloudcukooland featuring the hit single ‘Pure’. Second album Sense followed before the release of the seminal album Jollification in 1994 which has sold nearly 1 million copies to date.
In 1996, the single ‘3 Lions’, recorded for the England football team's Euro 96 campaign, topped the charts many times over. That same year Dizzy Heights and 1999’s Tilt were released to critical acclaim before Ian returned to his producer roots. Ian soon began to develop hit albums the likes of The Coral, The Zutons and many more.

It was a good soundtrack and the band were great sounding ,but unfortunately there was far too many people there crammed right in !not a pin between them and never saw a glimpse of the band unfortunately I won't buy a ticket for the there again😔
What a great night, my wife a long time fan danced to all the hits , 35 years and still fresh and vibrant music, long may it continue
Really good to see Ian and the band are still going strong after 35 years, I think everyone in the audience and on stage had the best night.
