Join the legendary Marc Almond for an unforgettable night of music at the Usher Hall later this month. Known for his emotionally charged performances and unique blend of synth-pop and chanson, Almond has been straddling the line between underground and mainstream for over four decades. Best known for his 80s hit with Soft Cell, “Tainted Love,” he has continued to push boundaries with dramatic dives into Brel, cabaret, and Russian romance.
From his early days in Leeds and London’s Soho, Almond has been telling stories through music with hits like “Bedsitter” and “Glamour in Squalor.” His career has spanned collaborations with the Pet Shop Boys, new wave explorations with Marc and The Mambas, and solo successes like Vermin in Ermine. His resilience shines through following a near-fatal motorcycle crash in 2004, leading to a triumphant return to the stage and recording studio.
Marc Almond’s career is a testament to his artistry, from chart-topping hits to critically acclaimed solo work and collaborations. Don’t miss the chance to witness this iconic performer live at Usher Hall, where his powerful storytelling and musical mastery will be on full display.
