SCOTT LAVENE playsThe Piper on 18th September 💣 Tickets on sale NOW via The Piper website. 💥 We are thrilled to announce that Essex post-punk songwriter and raconteur Scott Lavene will be returning to our stage this September. ⚡Scott Lavene is an Essex singer-songwriter and storyteller whose work blends kitchen-sink realism with dark humour, poetic grit, and a distinctly English sense of place. ⚡ His songs often feel like short stories set to music, delivered in a conversational, almost spoken-word style that sits somewhere between indie folk and post-punk.� ⚡He has built a loyal following not through chart dominance but through the strength of his songwriting and stage shows – honest, unsettling, and deeply human ⭐️ For fans of Ian Dury, Elvis Costello, John Cooper Clarke, Jarvis Cocker and Robyn Hitchcock. 💥”Full of great poignant, funny and sad songs that display the man’s great writing talents. At times he’s David Bowie, Syd Barrett and Ian Dury at the same time.” Louder Than War 💥“Think Baxter Dury’s warped kid brother.” The Times 💥“Sounds like an updated version of something that Stiff records would have released in the 70’s.” Steve Lamacq
