Dean Friedman UK Tour. – BABBACOMBE THEATRE, TORQUAY

Dean Friedman, one of the pre-eminent songwriters of his generation, announces a another UK/Ireland concert tour for 2026, With stops in London, Hull, Liverpool, Belfast, Dublin, Kinross, Bude, Bridgwater, Penzance, Cardiff, and more, winding up at Dean Friedman’s SongFest, a 2-day micro-music-festival, hosted by Friedman, held at the Draycote Hotel in Rugby, featuring some of the UK’s finest singer-songwriters, including Kiki Dee. BUT you can see him here in South Devon at the BABBACOMBE THEATRE, Torquay on Saturday 9th May at 7.30pm
Friedman, best known to UK and Ireland audiences for his string of chart hits, Lucky Stars, Lydia, Woman of Mine, McDonald’s Girl and “Well, Well,” Said the Rocking Chair’, will be performing solo, on guitar and keyboard, featuring songs from throughout his four-decade career, including familiar, radio hits and fan favorites, drawn from his nine studio albums.
In addition to the hits and fan favourites, Friedman will be highlighting songs from his latest, critically acclaimed album, ‘American Lullaby’. The crowdfunded album, considered by dedicated fans as one of his finest, touches on a broad range of topics including: the calamitous pandemic, looming environmental disaster, racism, sexism, our fractured politics, and an intractable culture war.
“My latest album, ‘American Lullaby’,” Friedman explains, “reflects my personal take on all the crazy stuff that’s been happening in America – and around the world – for the last six years. Like all lullabies, it’s filled with tales of dark deeds and disaster, but couched in soft, gentle tones, meant to soothe, and comfort the listener, while gently bracing them for the potential terrors that await.”
Invite family and friends and join Friedman for an evening of powerful, poignant, and hilarious songs about the ordinary and extraordinary lives we share.
