SUMMARY:TV SMITH
LOCATION:Howden The Shire Hall
DESCRIPTION:Joe Solo - TV Smith was founder member\, singer and songwriter
  for the Adverts\, who formed in late 1976 and were one of the leading ban
 ds in the first wave of British punk rock. In early 1977 they performed re
 gularly at the newly-opened Roxy Club in London\, and gained cult success 
 with the Stiff Records single "One Chord Wonders." Their next release\, "G
 ary Gilmore's Eyes" became a top twenty hit record\, leading to radio and 
 TV appearances and extensive media interest. A further single\, “No Time
  To Be 21\,” also entered the charts\, and the band spent the rest of th
 e year playing live\, including major tours with The Damned and Iggy Pop. 
 The album that followed in early 1978\, "Crossing the Red Sea with the Adv
 erts\," is still considered a genuine classic of the era and is often cite
 d as one of the twenty best punk albums ever released.The Adverts released
  one more album\, “Cast Of Thousands\,” before they split in 1979. Sla
 mmed by the critics at the time\, the album was later re-released to unive
 rsal acclaim\, and described by Mojo magazine as “the long lost punk alb
 um that rivals The Clash’s ‘London Calling’.”After The Adverts bro
 ke up\, TV went on to form TV Smith’s Explorers\, who gained a UK chart 
 hit in 1980 with the single “Tomahawk Cruise\,” then at the end of the
  ’80’s formed Cheap\, who payed many gigs in the UK and Europe\, and r
 eleased one album “RIP - Everything Must Go.” In the early ’90’s T
 V turned his hand to solo gigs at the suggestion of punk poet Attila The S
 tockbroker and released the acoustic-inspired album “March Of The Giants
 ”on the Cooking Vinyl label. Since then he has established himself as th
 e leading solo performer of the punk rock scene and has released many albu
 ms. He has also been involved in a number of collaborations with other ban
 ds\, most notably with German superstars Die Toten Hosen\, who performed a
 s TV’s backing band on the album “Useless.”TV most recent album is e
 ntitled “Handwriting\,” and was released in April 2024 on the Easy Act
 ion label. Recorded in collaboration with renowned producer and multi-inst
 rumentalist Gerry Diver\, the pair created a record with a thrilling total
 ly new musical landscape using no conventional rock instruments. Many crit
 ics called it the best album of his career\, and following its success TV 
 is already working on new songs and planning a new collaboration with Gerr
 y for future release.Fiercely independent and proudly embodying the origin
 al spirit of punk rock\, TV performs as an acoustic solo artist all over t
 he world\, as well as playing occasional gigs with backup bands. Over the 
 past few years he has supported Stiff Little Fingers\, the Damned and Ruts
  DC on major tours in the UK\, and played headline tours throughout the UK
 \, Europe\, the U.S.A and Japan. In 2025 he set off on a world tour which 
 included the UK\, Germany\, Switzerland\, Finland\, Ireland\, Brazil\, Arg
 entina\, Uruguay and North America\, and he already has many gigs planned 
 for 2026\, including a tour of Australia.A full-length BBC 4 documentary o
