Hugh Laurie comes to the Hammersmith Apollo for one night only on Friday 14^th June.

Following the monumental success of his debut album Let Them Talk, Laurie is celebrating the release of Didn’t It Rain (his second opus, out on 6th May on Warner Music Entertainment) with a concert at the Hammersmith Apollo.

“I have resolved to forge on, deeper into the forest of American music that has enchanted me since I was a small boy,” says Laurie, “And the further I go, the more bewitched I become – both by the songs and by the people I have been lucky enough to play them with.”

Complemented with the heart and accomplishment of his supporting musicians, the Copper Bottom Band (Jay Bellerose, Kevin Breit, Vincent Henry, Greg Leisz, Robby Marshall, David Piltch and Patrick Warren with Elizabeth Lea and Larry Goldings), Laurie has gained widespread critical acclaim. The Copper Bottom Band’s touring line-up features several of the musicians who appear on the Didn’t It Rain – Piltch (bass), Henry (horns), Lea (trombone), McLain (vocals) and Moreno (vocals) – and is completed by Herman Matthews (drums) and Mark Goldenberg (guitars).
