With a unique voice that’s equal parts choirboy and soul boy, Andrew Montgomery made waves in the Britpop era as frontman of Scottish band Geneva, scoring four Top 40 hits (‘Tranquillizer’, ‘No-One Speaks’, ‘Best Regrets’, 'Into the Blue’) from two albums (Further, Weather Underground) between 1996 and 2001.
After a decade of silence, Andrew returned in 2014 with critically acclaimed début solo album Ruled By Dreams, an album of seraphic modern pop that's as sensual as it is confessional, with Andrew’s unique three octave voice placed front and centre.
This will be a full-band show with Andrew showcasing his new album and revisiting classic Geneva tracks.
“Montgomery’s extraordinary voice sounds even more affecting and assured than ever. Crucially, the songs are precisely what that voice deserves…beauty itself.” John Aizlewood, Q
“Breathtaking…like Jimmy Somerville meets Jeff Buckley, in church. Will make every hair on your body stand on end.” Chris Hawkins, BBC 6 Music
“One of the finest singers Scotland has produced since the late, great Billy Mackenzie...it is such a thrill to hear his angelic vocals again, with songs that veer from dark electro to brooding torch songs.” Jim Gellatly, The Sun
“This sumptuous solo debut gives Montgomery the Rufus Wainwright-sized drama queen treatment he deserves. A fine comeback by an underrated talent.” Stephen Dalton, Uncut
