A quarter of a century since his self-inflicted coronation, and self-released debut solo album,  Kenny Anderson – DIY pop voyager, ancestral seaside home restorer, Fife for lifer, diamond miner, hijacker of hearts, and the man also known as King Creosote – has released over 100 records,  collaborated with the likes of Jon Hopkins, KT Tunstall, Beta Band’s Lone Pigeon, and had his songs covered and performed by artists including Patti Smith and Simple Minds.

A note from Kenny –

2024’s springtime tour “Any Port in a Storm”- a mix of modular synth, I DES tracks and KC ‘classics’ was such a success that we are delighted to announce 2025’s follow up “Any Storm in a Teacup” from April-June. 

This show is strictly for audiences aged 18 and over.
