British band The Feeling are marking the 20th anniversary of their debut album with a series of live shows, including dates in Eastbourne and Margate.
The record, which helped establish the group's blend of melodic pop-rock, was notable in part for its unconventional origins: portions of it were recorded in a shed in Sussex, a detail that has become part of the album's lore among fans and the band itself. The stripped-back setting contrasted with the polished, radio-friendly sound the album would go on to achieve.
Two decades on
Since its release, the album has remained a touchstone of mid-2000s British pop-rock, and the anniversary shows give the band an opportunity to revisit the material for a new generation of audiences as well as longtime fans who followed the group from its early days.
The upcoming performances in Eastbourne and Margate are part of a wider run of anniversary dates, with the band expected to perform the album in full or in substantial part alongside other material from their catalogue. Such anniversary tours have become increasingly common across the music industry.
Further details on ticketing, additional tour dates and any special guests for the shows were not specified in initial reporting on the anniversary.
