Captain - Celebrating 20 yrs of This is Hazelville

Twenty years ago, Captain released their debut album This Is Hazelville. Produced by Trevor Horn and released through EMI, the album reached No. 23 in the UK Albums Chart and included the singles Glorious, Broke and Frontline.

To mark its 20th anniversary, Captain return to the stage for a special one-off show, performing This Is Hazelville in full, from start to finish. For the first time, all eleven songs will be played live in the order they appeared on the record.

Formed in London in the mid-2000s, Captain quickly found an audience for their distinctive mix of widescreen guitar pop, lush arrangements and the unmistakable vocal interplay between Rik Flynn and Clare Szembek.

Comparisons ranged from Prefab Sprout and The Beautiful South to The Cure, The Beach Boys and My Bloody Valentine, but This Is Hazelville always occupied a world of its own.
