# Event Details

- **Event Name**: The Pump Present... WRECKLESS ERIC **MATINEE**
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 01 Mar, 2026 at 03:00 pm
- **Event Description**: As Wreckless Eric he needs little introduction — he wrote and recorded the classic Whole Wide World and had a hit with it back in 1977. Since then it's been a hit for countless other artists including The Monkees, Cage The Elephant and most recently for Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day.

As Eric Goulden it's a little more complicated - a musician, artist, writer, recording engineer and producer, he didn’t like either the music business or the mechanics of fame or the name he’d been given to hide behind, so he crawled out of the spotlight and went underground. He went on to release twenty something albums in forty something years under various names - The Len Bright Combo, Le Beat Group Electrique, The Donovan Of Trash, The Hitsville House Band, and with his wife as one half of Wreckless Eric & Amy Rigby, finally realizing he was stuck with the name Wreckless Eric.

His albums encapsulate pop, bubblegum, garage trash and psychedelia. His four most recents ‘amERICa’, Construction Time & Demolition, Transience and most recently Leisureland are widely regarded as his best work to date. His live performances are a sonic journies through time and space incorporating songs from all stages of his long career.

The achievement for Wreckless Eric is to have made new music that connects to old music without maudlin nostalgia or huffy defensiveness, refusing to let age dim the passion for the music that means the most to him. In other words, he rocks.
