CLEWS @ Shark Bar, 3rd May

Clews @ Oxford Art Factory, 26th Jan

“Last time I saw Clews they were two sisters with stunning harmonies, tunes of delight, and acoustic guitars. All those things are still true except the guitars are electric and there’s a whole band. The tunes are still a box of bloody wonders too.”
