About the show

In collaboration with Edge Street Live, we are excited to invite Dave Rowntree to The Foxlowe for a one man show that delivers a unique insight into how one of Britain's biggest bands started out.


Through unheard stories alongside candid photos from his new bestselling book ‘No One You Know’, Dave Rowntree shares the tales behind Blur’s formative years.  From their early friendships in Colchester, to world tours, and famously going head-to-head with Oasis, he offers rare insight into the moments that shaped one of the major defining bands of 1990s Britpop, Blur.


Dave Rowntree: “The pictures I took are of a band right at the start of their career. They’re of what we did between the gigs, interviews and photo sessions. They are of us hanging out, relaxing, travelling, eating, and especially in the early days, drinking. They are snapshots of what life in Blur was really like in the first few years when the TV cameras and tape recorders were turned off. Obviously there isn’t much of the band actually working, because then I would have been working too. This is everything else.”


This will be a seated show - Tickets are available online - £18.50 + booking fee
