Belle & Sebastian's Stevie Jackson Announces November Solo Shows & Tickets

Stevie Jackson, known for his lead guitar, song-writing and vocals in the Glasgow-based indie band Belle & Sebastian, has announced solo UK shows for November.
Jackson’s guitar playing is very distinctively retrogressive and melodic. Nicknamed ‘Reverb’ or ‘Stevie Reverb’ due to his very distinctive use of said effect, prior to joining Belle & Sebastian, Jackson was a member of the now-defunct The Moondials, a band that released a single on 'Electric Honey', a label that would later issue Belle & Sebastian’s first album, 'Tigermilk'.
The Moondials experience was a pleasant one for Jackson, and it took a great deal of effort for Belle & Sebastian frontman Stuart Murdoch to convince him to join his group. At the time, Murdoch was playing the open mic circuit in Glasgow as a solo act, and it was at one of these performances — at The Halt Bar — that Jackson first saw Murdoch play.
Now temporarily returning to the intimate venues for a run of November solo shows, Stevie Jackson will visit venues in Manchester, Birmingham, London, Brighton and Portsmouth.
Nov 4th - Manchester Club Academy, Manchester
Nov 7th - Glee Club, Birmingham
Nov 9th - Heaven, London
Nov 10th - Brighton Concorde 2, Brighton
Nov 13th - Wedgewood Rooms, Portsmouth
