Album DescriptionIntroducing Amateur Night In The Big Top, the return of the legendary front man of Happy Mondays and Black Grape ? Shaun William Ryder! Very few artists have achieved the level of success Shaun has enjoyed. An icon of his generation, he was even recognized by Sir Paul McCartney as a "god-like genius" at the NME Awards. His rise to fame with the Happy Mondays was also recently documented in art house film favorite, 24 Hour Party People. Amateur Night In The Big Top was conceived and recorded in Perth, Australia where the Mondays played their last ever show. A deeply personal document, the album is the brainchild of Shaun and his cousin Pete Carroll, with production aid by Shane Norton (Soundlab, Ku-Ling Bros.) and Stephen Mallinder (Cabaret Voltaire). Armed with eclecticism and funky beats, Shaun Ryder is gonna step on you again!
