Andy Bennett (Ocean Colour Scene)
Wednesday, 7 October 2026, doors 7:00 PM
Tickets from £25 + booking fee
Andy Bennett joins the night as special guest in support of Steve Pilgrim, bringing with him the kind of pedigree and stage presence that makes arriving early an absolute must.
Best known as a songwriter, guitarist and backing singer with Ocean Colour Scene, Andy joined the band in 2004 as guitarist and backing singer and went on to spend more than a decade touring and recording with them, performing on stages across the world.
This is a rare chance to catch an artist of his calibre in such an intimate room, so it's well worth securing your ticket early.
During his time with Ocean Colour Scene, Andy appeared on several of the band's albums and live releases, including A Hyperactive Workout for the Flying Squad, On the Leyline and Saturday. He also co-wrote Old Pair of Jeans, which featured on the band's 2010 album Saturday.
His first show with the band took place at the legendary Royal Albert Hall, the perfect beginning to an eleven year run with one of Britain's most respected guitar bands.
Before joining Ocean Colour Scene, Andy had already built a strong reputation on the Midlands music scene with his band The Elements, earning a loyal following and supporting Ocean Colour Scene at shows around the region.
Since leaving the band in 2015, Andy has focused on his own songwriting and solo career. His 2016 debut solo album Thinkin', Drinkin', Singin' showcased his gift for melody and his love of classic British guitar music, with standout tracks including Fool No More, Hole in the Road and Baby Blue.
Live, Andy strips everything back to voice, guitar and beautifully crafted songs. His solo performances are relaxed, engaging and full of stories from years on the road, creating exactly the kind of atmosphere that suits a room like The Hart.
Seeing Andy Bennett in Redditch, supporting Steve Pilgrim in front of just forty people, is exactly the kind of night Revival was made for. Intimate, personal and all about the music.
With such limited capacity, this one is likely to sell quickly, so booking sooner rather than later is definitely the best move.
