Rachel Ducker speaks to Huey Morgan from
the Fun Lovin’ Criminals about their live shows
in February 2016 to celebrate and resurrect in
all its glory one of the most important albums
of 1996, ‘Come Find Yourself’.
20 years on, this debut release for the group
sounds as fresh and vibrant as it did that
year, when it spent almost 12 months in the
UK chart, becoming a soundtrack for the
summer and peaking at No. 7. Huey Morgan,
Brian Leiser and Frank Benbini will play the
album live and in full for the very first time
at O2 Academy venues in Leeds, Newcastle,
and Oxford, as well as dates at Nottingham
Rock City, Birmingham Institute, Manchester
Cathedral and the capital’s stunning O2
Shepherd’s Bush Empire.
R: You are celebrating your 20th Anniversary
this year by touring and re-releasing your
1996 album ‘Come find yourself,’ what was the
inspiration behind this?
Obviously It wasn’t for money, we sold over ten
million of those things, so we’re pretty good for
that. It was mostly because a number of fans got
in touch with us over the last couple of years and
were really interested in kind of, celebrating the
idea of something that they really held in high
regard, that they really loved, and something that
has been with them for two decades.
As a musician you have to be humble with
something like that, to the point that its not false
humility, you really think about it and go ‘wow’
we’ve been apart of so many people lives for
over twenty years, it would be remissible of us
