Lightning Seeds – Roadmender, Northampton

Lightning Seeds – Roadmender, Northampton

Liverpudlian indie-pop legends Lightning Seeds have been out on an a 35-th anniversary tour and returned to Northampton to headline the Roadmender.

Of course, to many Broudie is the man behind the greatest football anthem ever written – one which has topped the UK singles chart on three different occasions.

However, to others, he’s the songwriter responsible for some of the best indie-pop of the early 1990s.

Emerging before Britpop and its flagbearers took hold, The Lightning Seeds released their debut album Cloudcuckooland in 1990.

However, it was their third album, 1994’s Jollification, which really propelled producer Broudie into the mainstream.

At the Roadmender, we get a little bit of everything from across their career, but with the bulk of the set centred around Jollification and its 1996 successor, Dizzy Heights.

A full review of the gig is available on the Northampton Chronicle & Echo site here.
