If you've seen 'Boy on a Dolphin' before, you'll know you can expect an amazing evening of beautiful, original music, based around John Reilly’s outstanding vocals and the amazing Spanish guitar grooves of Pete Hiley. Tickets sold really quickly last year, so don't leave it too late !!

They will, of course, be playing all of their greatest songs, including ‘Words Inside', ‘Walking Home, ‘Trapeze’, ‘Life’s a Blast’ and, of course, ‘Fire’, but in addition, they will play some amazing new songs sincluding their first single for many years 'Leave the LIght on (in your window)', the fabulous earworm which s fast becoming a fan's favourite !!
