The Daintees Trio

40 years ago Martin Stephenson & The Daintees released critically acclaimed debut album ‘Boat To Bolivia’.

In this tour Martin is taking a stripped back acoustic Daintees Trio out to smaller more intimate venues to put a new slant on the songs from an album that for many of the bands fanbase remains their favourite of all time.

The tour will celebrate 40 years since the inception of ‘Boat To Bolivia’ which saw its roots develop late 1985 in Liverpool when Martin was a student at Liverpool University.

It was there that a determined and aspiring young songwriter started to scribble down the bones of what for many Daintees fans became instant classics, before the finished product was released in all its glory in 1986

Between performing the album in its entirety Martin will regale how the words and music began to come together, and the excitement of Kitchenware Records recognising its potential before releasing it to critical acclaim with legendary producer Gil Norton at the helm.
