The Sheffield culture guide written by in-the-know locals

Lloyd Cole

Sheffield City Hall

£45.50–58.50

As the frontman of indie band Lloyd Cole and The Commotions, Lloyd Cole has retained a loyal and devoted fan base since his emergence in the 1980s. While flirting with multiple styles and genres since he turned solo, Cole’s most defining feature has always been his literate and romantic approach to lyrics. The Guardian called him “an intellectual titan compared with his frivolous new romantic contemporaries.”

Back live with a one-man show, expect dry wit, ornate guitar compositions and intimate, heartfelt delivery from one of the UK’s finest songwriters.
