HAVING shared a stage with Sir Paul McCartney and Damon Albarn, singer Seye now comes to the Old Fire Station on Sunday.

The singer will be providing a support slot for X-Factor’s Aiden Grimshaw.

Seye Adelekan (pronounced Shaya) is part of a new wave of African-influenced pop stars and last week he took part in the African Express tour alongside Sir Macca and many other big names.

“I’m just back from the Africa Express tour, it was unbelievable – probably the best creative experience I’ve ever had, and one of the best social experiences I’ve ever had too.

“Damon pulled me aside a couple of days before the London show and told me I needed to learn a couple of Wings songs.

“I didn’t really know why, but the day before it was confirmed that the man himself was going to come down.

“It didn’t really hit me until he turned up. I was talking to someone else and saw him come in the room – I had to turn away because I was so starstruck! But it was fantastic. That’ll always be my comeback from now on, ‘Yeah, but have you played with Paul McCartney?’.”

The singer has paid his dues and has toured and worked as a session musician for Lana Del Rey, Emeli Sande and Paloma Faith.

His new single Mexicana Bounce is released on Monday.
