Ben Ottewell & Ian Ball
Acclaimed Britsh rock band Gomez's lead voices Ben Ottewell and Ian Ball are extending their intimate run of duo performances this summer. Celebrating 25 Years of Bring It On & Liquid Skin
Ottewell and Ball’s first release with Gomez, the 1998 break-out Bring It On, launched a spectacular career punctuated with the distinguished Mercury Prize, multiple platinum selling records and legions of devoted fans spanning three continents.
The duo’s performances will draw from Gomez fan-favourites, highlights from their respective solo projects, and perhaps offer an opportunity to road-test some of their newest work.
