Jimmy Nail

About

Acclaimed actor, singer, musician and writer — and proud Geordie icon — Jimmy Nail heads out on the road in 2026 with Stories and Songs. It is a series of intimate retrospective shows reflecting on an extraordinary seven-decade career.

From the landmark television series Auf Wiedersehen, Pet to Spender and then Crocodile Shoes — which spawned multi-platinum albums and chart-topping singles — Jimmy Nail has left an indelible mark on British popular culture. His career spans hit records, television series, and major film roles including Evita and Still Crazy. Jimmy's also starred in leading performances on both Broadway and London's West End.

Following a recent run of sell-out shows in Newcastle, celebrating the songs of Crocodile Shoes, Jimmy now brings audiences something more personal.

Stories and Songs is a warm, witty and revealing evening that blends music, memories, and rarely seen images. Audiences can expect candid anecdotes, moments of reflection, and a hand-picked selection of songs drawn from across his remarkable career.

And with a catalogue this rich, no two nights will be quite the same. From the 1992 UK number one "Ain't No Doubt", to "Love Don't Live Here Anymore", "Crocodile Shoes", "Cowboy Dreams", "Big River", and music from film and stage, the choices are many, so the stories behind them are just as compelling.

Jimmy will be joined on stage by long-time collaborator Tony Davis on keyboards and accordion, adding texture and atmosphere to these stripped-back, intimate performances.

An evening of Stories and Songs is not just a concert; it's a journey through music, memory, and undeniably a life lived on stage and screen.
