Hector Gannet

EXTRA DATE ADDED AFTER FIRST DATE SOLD OUT VIA PRE-SALE.

A second date has been added as Hector Gannet return to Cluny 2, making it two consecutive early New Year shows to celebrate the release of a new single from their forthcoming album due in spring 2026. Currently employing a brass section as seen recently at Durham Brass Festival, and at their sold-out headline show at the 550 capacity Exchange venue in North Shields, they will perform songs from their forthcoming album plus some reworks of tracks from the previous two albums, ..and maybe a surprise or two!

In 2025 they supported Sam Fender for the second time at St James Park, and were special guests with Elbow at Mouth of The Tyne festival. 
Their recent single The Jetty’s End was announced as ‘track of the week’ on BBC Introducing North East, with a review in The Most Radicalist declaring 
 
“the North-eastern collective have created a sweeping, hymn-like piece that folds church bells, brass and a youth choir into their rugged folk-rock DNA.”

Whilst a reviewer at ‘The Ginger Quiff’ went as far as to say - “While the rest of the world swoons over Sam Fender as the North East’s answer to Springsteen, I’d much rather revel in the indie-folk of Hector Gannet, more akin to Martin Stephenson than Springsteen, The Jetty’s End is both gloriously joyful and emotionally taut, the closing section of the song is as life-affirming as it gets.”

The initial show sold out to the Hector Gannet mailing list, and with the band having completed previous tour dates in England and Scotland with Sam Fender and with Sea Power, plus support slots with various other well-known artists such as Lindisfarne, Kathryn Williams, Peter Doherty and Richard Thompson, early booking for this second show is highly recommended.
