John Power – Cast, The La’s, and Me - An Intimate Evening With Singer/Songwriter John Power
John Power had the best rock’n’roll apprenticeship ever–playing bass as an 18-year-old in The La’s. Forming Cast in 1991, he sang, wrote songs, and played guitar for one of Britpop’s pre-eminent bands–securing two platinum-selling records before returning to the charts in 2024 with the magnificent Love Is The Call.
Power’s solo career produced some of his best work and through the summer of 2026 Cast join Oasis at their football stadium tour. Now it’s time to reflect on Britpop, the hits – Alright, Sandstorm, Walkaway, Flying and more – in this intimate show that mixes John’s best-loved songs with wild, funny, and tender stories.
