About this event
At The Cluny 2 in Newcastle upon Tyne on Tuesday, 9 February 2027: Crosstown present Billy Lockett.
Hello I’m Billy Lockett. I’m a piano man. I grew up in a small town in the UK called Northampton with my crazy hippy
dad. He encouraged me to have a career in music. After a few years things started to happen, I was playlisted on
Radio 1 and went on tour supporting Birdy, Lana del Rey and KT Tunstall.
Dad died. I stopped everything and came back home. Went off the rails a bit. Got a cat. Spent the next 2 years in the
cellar of my dad’s house writing songs. Grew an afro accidentally.
Moved to probably the smallest room in London. Played every open mic night in the city for a year. Sold out my first

headline show. Got signed. Cut afro off. Spent another 2 years writing. Went off the rails again. Got help. Performed
on Made In Chelsea as Josh’s baby shower gift to Binky.... obviously.
Toured with Lewis Capaldi and Electric Light Orchestra. Put my own tour on sale. Sold it out. Blew my mind. Broke up
with my record label. Broke up with my Girlfriend.... well... she dumped me... (on WhatsApp!). Broke my heart.
Moved back to my dad’s old house (with cat). Wrote and recorded an EP called Reset. Became mates with James
Corden. Performed live on the Late Late Show. Got new managers. Wrote, recorded, performed and self-released a
modern classical piano-only album. It charted and got played on Classic FM. At the same time a DnB track I sang on
was getting played on Radio 1. Made History as the first artist to do that.
Put Reflections EP together. Loved every song. Felt empowered. The songs were written during a darker time. But
now I’m feeling really good. This EP is me reflecting on how far I’ve come, and to celebrate where I’m going.
Set up a Patreon account and with the help of some amazing “super-fans” I recorded my first proper album title
‘Abington Grove’ which I recorded in my basement of my dad’s old house on that street. Couldn’t be prouder of how it
came out. Started releasing the singles from the album in June 2022.
Went to the Big Apple, met everyone, got signed to a great US label, started releasing singles, got played on the
radio all over the world. Hired bodyguards to keep crazy fans from trying to cut locks of my hair off when i'm shopping
in Lidl. Become best friends with Beyonce. Buy a lifetime supply of pot noodles. Get asked by JustEat to feature in
their next advert... (probably).
That’s the story so far (and a little bit of what's probably going to happen very soon), follow me to see what happens
next....
