Applause Rural Touring: Boring Someone in Some Dark Café
Jess Morgan lives in London, in a flat above a carwash, spending her days churning out demos, hustling for gigs just waiting for that call from Jools Holland.
Jess is young, single-minded and ambitious to get out on the road…at any cost. It’s the oldest rock and roll story ever told.
So, what happens when after ten years on tour, the sleepy rural town Jess grew up resolute to leave behind suddenly glitters with possibility – something more promising than fame, and more life-changing than a spin on Radio 2? Will she hang around long enough to find out?
With songs carefully knitted into the narrative, this show tells the story of ten glorious years being a nobody in the music industry.
