________________________________

Martin Rossiter, the lead singer of Indie legends Gene, will share songs and stories from his career in a new show touring to The Atkinson.

It’s a prime time for Martin; Gene enjoyed a triumphant return to the spotlight in autumn 2025 with their first shows in 20 years. A 5,000-capacity gig at London’s Eventim Apollo sold out in less than an hour and buoyed by that and a string of other sold-out shows, Martin is now hitting the road for this solo spoken word tour.

He’ll reflect on the band’s run of hit records during an evening of classic Britpop songs and conversation. Expect the lowdown – and some tunes – on For The Dead, Sleep Well Tonight, Haunted By You, Olympian, and the classic Britpop album To See The Lights.

Martin said: “Getting back to performing with Gene again has been beyond amazing, and I have loved every minute. I think the time is right for me to go on the road, look back at my career, and share the stories and songs that have made it.”
