His latest tour takes in 16 venues, from Dartmouth to Doncaster, but the Blackpool gig is the only one in Lancashire.
The tour coincides with the artist’s latest single, ‘Swimming In It’, which comes with a hard-hitting environmental message.
The singer said: "After moving to the Kent coast in 2020 I became aware of the horrific acts committed by Southern Water and also by the amazing fightback from the local community in the form of SOS Whitstable.

"Striking while the iron was hot, I scored some studio time in The Albion Rooms in Margate and put word out around the community inviting anyone and everyone to come and play on the track.
"The result was The Kentish Folk, a small army of amazing local musicians, everyone who came down is on the track, most of them were strangers to me before the session started.”
