ULTIMATE ARTISTES PRESENTS

SMALLTOWN BOY TRIBUTE

Two shows. Two cities. One very long, very brilliant day ✨🎤

Manchester first, then straight over to Birmingham… and somehow the universe behaved itself for once. Sunshine all day, no traffic chaos, amazing crowds, lovely people, and getting to perform alongside so many incredible tribute acts made it even more special.

Thank you for all the messages, videos, pictures and tags that have been sent over today. I genuinely love seeing them all and it means a lot knowing people are singing, dancing and enjoying the show ❤️

Now back home in Ipswich, slightly exhausted, slightly delirious, and already reminiscing over the day. Bring on the rest of the shows this year 👏✨

Still a little bit surreal typing this… ✨

I genuinely cannot believe I’m going to be performing at the amazing @donttellmamauk Weekender! What an incredible lineup and what an honour to be part of it. 💖

To make it even more special, it also falls on my other half’s birthday weekend… so expect a couple of surprises along the way 👀🎉

Massive thank you to the whole Don’t Tell Mama team and @ultimateartistes for this amazing opportunity. I honestly can’t wait!

Tickets are available now online 🎟️
Who’s coming?! ✨

Wow… still can’t get over last night at the Belfast Empire 🤯

Thank you so much to everyone who bought tickets, came along, and supported – it meant the world. It was unreal to party with you all, and I’m still riding the biggest high!

Hearing you sing these iconic songs back to me is something I’ll never forget… moments like that are why I do what I do ❤️

And Belfast, you were such a warm, welcoming crowd – honestly one of those nights that just sticks with you. Videos will be uploaded onto Instagram @smalltownboytribute

A massive thank you to: @ultimateartistes & @popaganda.co until next time… 💫

Belfast, you were a whole moment!!

From the first step off the plane to the show… what a trip. Good vibes, good people, and memories that feel like they’ve been stitched together into one big highlight reel.

There’s something about getting away, even just for a few days, that resets everything. New streets, new energy, new people and a few new stories! Thank you so much to @popaganda.co @belfastempire @ciarafpower @fuegoentertainment.ni for making it so special - videos incoming soon! #

Grateful for every second of it. Belfast, you’ve set the bar high… not sure I’m ready to come back to reality just yet.

Where to next? 🌍

I’m really excited to finally share this… my new Smalltown Boy website is now live! 🎉

I’ve spent ages putting it together, and while it still needs a little tweaking here and there, I don’t think it’s too bad for an amateur website designer!

The main reason I wanted to create it was so I could have all my upcoming performance dates in one place, making it easier for everyone to see where I’ll be performing throughout the year. Hopefully I’ll get to see some of you at one of the shows!

The site will also be where I keep everything up to date with what I’m doing, and there’s now a “Get in Touch” button if anyone wants to reach out about bookings or events.

I’m so excited for the gigs coming up this year… and there are a couple of surprises on the way too 👀
Some dates aren’t on the website just yet as I’m not allowed to announce them, but keep an eye out over the next few weeks!

For now, the website is live and I really hope you like it. (It is mobile compatible.. but it looks so much better on the big pc/ipad screen!)

Let me know what you think!! LINK IN BIO or visit…

Had the most incredible gig today at Butlin’s, Bognor Regis. ❤️

For two very special reasons.

Firstly, because Jimmy Somerville has performed here too, including the Electric Dreams Weekender back in 2019, so standing on that stage singing his music felt pretty surreal.

But also because just over a year ago, I stood in that exact same room performing a completely different show. I remember walking off stage not entirely happy, questioning things a little… and it was in that very moment that someone first approached me and said I should do a tribute to Jimmy. Something people had suggested to me for years, but something about that day made me really think… maybe I should.

Fast forward to now, standing in that same room, looking out at the crowd, performing Small Town Boy, singing those iconic songs, and feeling everything come full circle. Honestly, it was quite emotional.

Thank you so much to every single person who cheered, sang along, commented, and followed on Instagram. The support genuinely means the world.

And just listen to the crowd reaction after this song… that’s a moment I won’t be forgetting anytime soon.

Huge thank you to @ultimateartistes for believing in me and supporting this journey, and a massive shoutout to the band too… especially Josh for absolutely smashing his very first Butlin’s gig!

What a moment. 💙 #smalltownboy #ultimateartistes #jimmysomerville #tribute #bronskibeat

Wow. What a night at Warner’s Studley Castle 🤍✨

So much for Friday the 13th being unlucky… because we had the BEST night! From all the iconic hits of Jimmy Somerville right through to an 80s party that had us dancing until the very end, you were absolutely incredible.

It was such a pleasure to be with you all. Thank you for the lovely comments, the kind words around the hotel afterwards, and everyone who stopped for a chat. It genuinely meant a lot.

If you took any photos or videos, please feel free to post them and tag us. We would love to see them…and you!

Hope you all have a gorgeous Valentine’s weekend ❤️ #ultimateartistes #smalltownboy #tribute #80sweekender #JimmySomerville @warnerhotels

Thank you, truly, to every single one of you who came tonight to watch Small Town Boy. Standing there and seeing so many faces who’ve followed me through every chapter of my journey… it honestly hit me. You’ve seen the highs, the lows, the changes, the growth — and you’re still here, supporting me, cheering me on, and that means more than I can ever explain. This little adventure is growing, and it’s only growing because of you. Thank you to @seayoufelixstowe for having me tonight. And tomorrow… Butlin’s 80s Weekender with actual 80s pop stars — wild. I’ll blog as I go.
Thank you to @ultimateartistes for believing in the show and supporting my journey, while always allowing me to let my creative campness thrive!
