Wreckless Eric

Shangri-la presents...

A rare chance to catch a true cult, DIY maverick of the UK underground in an intimate 40-capacity setting at The Royal Hotel in Southend-on-Sea.Wreckless Eric is known to many for his beginnings on Stiff Records in the mid-seventies and his enduring hit, Whole Wide World.

Most are unaware of his prodigious recorded output since - he tends to do what he wants rather than what might be expected - always evolving, never trading on past glories.Eric will be joined on stage by his wife, the legendary Amy Rigby on electric and acoustic guitars, organ and vocals, Camille Davila on guitar, keyboard bass and vocals, and Emily Winng on percussion and vocals - three women who are all, coincidentally, divorced from drummers.Lassie are Emily Winng (UK) and Camille Davila (USA/Mexico).

Together they bring dark Lynchian psychedelic-folk laced with tribal punk, filtered through lilting and hard-hitting harmonies.
