Description
Wigan band, the Stanleys arrive in Cambridge, fresh from supporting Richard Ashcroft, Cast and Shed Seven across the UK, and their recent headline show at the 950 capacity Manchester Academy 2, which sold out in minutes!
Having also been on the road with the likes of The Libertines, The Lathums, The Sherlocks, Jamie Webster, The View and Inspiral Carpets, it's only a matter of time before the Stanleys are as well-known across the UK, as they are across Manchester and the North-West.
Support comes from two bands destined for a big future, Afterdrive and The Portland.
Afterdrive In just a short time, Ipswich band, Afterdrive have already become admired for their perfect blend of pop and indie music and receive regular airplay on prestigious national platforms like BBC Radio 1 and Radio X.
The Portland The Portland are definitely one to keep an eye on. With influences as diverse at The Pixies and Bill Callahan, The Portland are going places.
“Well thought out musicianship” and “well on the way to making something special”
