Parliament of Wolves
Parliament of Wolves is a Cambridge-based band consisting of Francis Botcherby (Vocals, Guitar), Eli Bre (Bass Guitar, Backing Vocals), Sean O’Hanrahan (Keyboards, Backing Vocals) and Stefan Tumber (Drums). Formed in the wake of Francis Botcherby’s 2022 debut album ‘Misty Moonrise’, they released their first EP ‘Dreamers’ in July 2024. They headlined a show at The Troubadour in London and played at Cambridge Rock Festival in 2024, in addition to many gigs at notable local venues. Their songs have been played on BBC Introducing Cambridgeshire + Essex and Cambridge 105.
Come and watch them play an exclusive stripped back acoustic set at New Routes!
Chris Cleverley
Chris Cleverley was born under a solstice moon, in the honeysuckle mysticism of a late 80s Midsummer. As his fledgling days unfurled, the symbolic sounds of ‘Hunky Dory’, ‘Graceland’ and ‘Ladies of The Canyon’ echoed from the woodchip walls of the South Birmingham terrace where he was raised; quiet and curious, saturnine and shy. Here, the soul of a young artist was shaped.
Fast-forward three decades; With five nationally acclaimed records under his belt, and ringing endorsements from The Times, Telegraph and BBC6 Music, 2x FATEA ‘Male Artist of the Year’ Chris Cleverley is described as “One of the most vital voices of his Folk generation” (KLOF). His boundary-shattering ‘Dream-Folk’ songwriting now sits on the cutting edge of acoustic music.
Exploring powerful, human themes from displaced people to the fragile beauty of our natural world, we travel with him from the arid deserts of Syria, to the rich Mediterranean sunsets of the Cretan coastline; a captivating voyage of place, landscape, season and self.
A true guitar-man, his breathtaking fingerstyle technique dances above lush ambient soundscapes, drawing comparisons ranging from Lo-fi American Greats, Elliott Smith & Sufjan Stevens to UK guitar royalty John Martyn & Nic Jones; a curious tapestry weaved from the hazy psychedelia of the 60s folk revival and the soulful oblivion of the 90s Pacific Northwest. Whether you like your folk music contemporary or classic, Chris Cleverley has you covered.
This Autumn Cleverley is gearing up for the release of his 2nd Winter E.P. Join him on tour this Autumn, as he previews some of these new tracks for the first time.
