The Underground Stage
“There’s never a quiet moment with Flowertruck, and tonight’s no exception – if their PiL-ish, hyper-wired, pharmaceutical smile of a set isn’t enough to get you moving, the live marriage proposal should have done the trick. Not many finer bands around, and no mistake.” Facebook | Instagram
“It’s a gorgeous set from Georgia Mulligan, shades of PJ Harvey’s steel tinged with dusty sunsets.” Facebook | Instagram
“Betty & Oswald open up tonight – oddball pop delivered with bags of charm.” Facebook | Instagram | Twitter
“By the time Letters To Lions come onstage, the wheels are coming off in the crowd and there’s well-oiled enthusiasm, and you don’t have to be roaring, stage-diving drunk to understand why (although there’s plenty of that too).
