JIM BOB
40 YEARS AND 40 SONGS
2 CAREER SPANNING SETS AT
LONDON O2 SHEPHERDS BUSH EMPIRE
SATURDAY 12 APRIL 2025
Next April, for one special night only, join Jim Bob at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on Saturday 12th April to celebrate his forty years in professional show business (beginning in 1985 with his first record release with Jamie Wednesday).
Across two sets Jim Bob will play a total of 40 (forty) songs. Expect something from every part of those four decades from his time with Jamie Wednesday, Jim’s Super Stereoworld, his Jim Bob solo records, and of course Carter USM. Maybe he’ll even play a brand-new song, to bookend those forty fabulous years. It’s going to be a night to remember (and no doubt some forgetting too. That’s a lot of lyrics!).
This new show from the former frontman of Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine, follows a sold out tour earlier this year. Tickets go on general sale this Friday 20th September 2024 at 9am via HERE
