Jimmy Nail
The Anvil - Saturday 4 July 2026
Jimmy Nail: actor, singer, storyteller, and one of Britain’s most distinctive voices arrives in Basingstoke this summer with an intimate evening of music and memories. His Stories and Songs tour has been winning over audiences across the UK, and now it’s our turn to welcome him to The Anvil on Saturday 4 July 2026.
Expect a relaxed, heartfelt show that blends live performances of his best‑loved tracks with candid tales from a remarkable career spanning TV, film, and multi‑platinum music success. From Auf Wiedersehen, Pet to Crocodile Shoes, Nail’s work has shaped British culture for more than four decades, and this is a rare chance to hear the stories behind it all.
What makes this night special
- A warm, conversational evening rather than a full‑band production
- Fan favourites performed live, including hits from Crocodile Shoes
- Behind‑the‑scenes stories from TV, film, and the music world
- The Anvil’s famously crisp acoustics, perfect for a storytelling show
