Ex-Chumbawamba singer to perform at closing night of Morecambe Fringe

A former member of 'Tubthumping' band Chumbawamba will perform at the closing night of this year's Morecambe Fringe Festival.

Danbert Nobacon, former keyboard player and vocalist with the anarcho-punk band who had a 1997 number two hit with the song famed for its 'I get knocked down, but I get up again' lyric, will play at The Exchange this Sunday, July 28.

Danbert will perform songs from his new album Kochtopus's Garden.

He now resides in the US and has been doing a mini tour of the North West.

The Yoghurt Weavers and the Monkey Poet, plus an awards ceremony, will also be on Sunday night's bill at the West End pub.

This year's Morecambe Fringe festival has brought 60 shows from around the country and 10 local shows developed through workshops with festival founder, Matt Panesh.

Shows this weekend are on at the West End Playhouse on Yorkshire Street and the Kings Arms opposite the Eric Morecambe statue. The shows are free to attend and people donate to the artists at the end of each act.

Work on next year's Fringe festival will start in September with the establishment of a Fringe delivery committee. 

Details of the final shows can be found HERE.
