It’s a fine time to be Cast. The Liverpool band earned a flurry of critical acclaim as their new album ‘Love Is The Call’ matched the standard set by their classic debut album ‘All Change’. It also saw them fly up the charts in style, a #22 Official Album Chart position representing their highest position in 25 years, while it also impacted on other key charts including #3 on Independent Albums and #5 on Album Sales. Their recent tour also received rapturous receptions at packed venues across the land, with fans lapping up new songs and old favourites alike.
With such a positive vibe so far, Cast are eager to hit the road again with shows in cities they missed during their recent tour. As a result, they’re now excited to announce details of a new seventeen-date spanning the UK and Ireland. Tickets for the tour are on sale now.
Cast frontman John Power says, “On our recent tour, the live set felt galvanised and freshed by the energy of the songs from the new album alongside our classic hits. I couldn’t believe how well the set seemed to run so seamlessly between all of the different songs, in fact the new stuff was getting just as loud a cheer as some of our timeless hits. The band have refound our mojo, and I can’t wait to get back on the road and do it all again this autumn!”
Featuring fellow original members Liam ‘Skin’ Tyson (guitar) and Keith O’Neill (drums), Cast’s headline tour builds upon a growing live schedule for the remainder of 2024.

A planned brand new single paying tribute to the late great Terry Hall & John Bradbury received its world exclusive first radio airplay last week on the Trish Adudu Show on BBC Radio CWR.
And “When A Light Goes Out” is an impressive tune indeed with a smoothly flowing & infectious reggae/ska rhythm underpinning soulful & uplifting vocals from Lynval Golding.
Billed as The Specials Family, the recording also features Horace Panter & the rest of The Specials’ line-up from the last few years, Steve Craddock, Nikolaj Torn Larsen, Hannah Hu, Tim Smart & Kenrick Rowe.
“When A Light Goes Out” looks set for an official release in May backed by a Roger Rivas dub of the tune & is a top notch tribute indeed to Terry & Brad! A recording of the single’s broadcast on BBC Radio CWR has already notched up almost 10,000 streams on YouTube! You can listen to it here…

Paul Weller invited Roger Daltrey on stage with him last night (March 24), to perform a live rendition of The Who’s ‘So Sad About Us’.
The moment took place during the closing night event for the 2024 Teenage Cancer Trust gig series, dubbed ‘Ovation’. It was billed as “a celebration of 24 years of gigs” for the charity, and saw live performances from Weller, Daltrey, Kelly Jones, Robert Plant with Saving Grace and Eddie Vedder.
Taking place at the historic Royal Albert Hall after kicking off the 2024 concert series on Monday (March 18), soloist and former frontman of The Jam opened the night by performing an eight-song setlist.
This started with two tracks taken from his 2018 album ‘True Meanings’: starting the show with ‘Gravity’ and following on with a rendition of ‘Mayfly’. Other solo tracks included ‘Amongst Butterflies’, ‘Rockets’ and ‘Wild Wood’, as well as a performance of The Style Council’s 1985 track ‘A Man Of Great Promise’.
It was during the penultimate song of his set that Weller surprised the audience by inviting the shows’ curator Roger Daltrey to the stage for an impromptu rendition of The Who’s 1966 track ‘So Sad About Us’ – a collaboration he said they hadn’t rehearsed for.
He closed out his set by playing ‘That’s Entertainment’, which he originally shared as part of The Jam back in 1980.
