Then Jerico

Then Jerico is a pop, rock and indie act led by Mark Shaw, the only remaining original founder member. This London date is part of a UK tour marking the fortieth anniversary of the group's debut album.

Mark Shaw sings, writes and produces for Then Jerico, and remains the sole founder member from the group's original line-up. The debut album, FIRST (The Sound of Music), was a commercial and critical success across several markets and earned Gold sales status in the UK. It produced two Top 40 singles, Muscle Deep and The Motive. The Motive was the most-played single on BBC Radio One in 1987 and the band's first Top 20 entry. Two further singles, Let Her Fall and a cover of Roxy Music's Prairie Rose, reached the Top 75. Owen Davies and Mark Shaw co-produced the record.

The 2026/27 tour celebrates that anniversary by performing the album in full at venues and festivals across the UK. The London performance takes place at Bush Hall, a concert venue on Uxbridge Road in the W12 area of west London, and the evening is built around this record rather than a wider catalogue.

The programme suits listeners who know the album's songs and want to hear them performed together as one set, and it offers a focused look at the material that launched the band's chart run in the late 1980s.
