THE LOFT“Seminally seminal…” – Steve Lamacq
The Loft, original Creation Records legends, set out on a UK tour next March in support of their forthcoming, ‘debut’ album.
The original line up of Pete Astor, Dave Morgan, Bill Prince and Andy Strickland, embark on their first ever UK club tour, 40 years after the classic ‘Up The Hill And Down The Slope’, topped the indie singles chart.
Since their infamous onstage split at the Hammersmith Palais in ‘85, their status as one of the UK’s most influential guitar bands of the 80s continues to grow and to influence a host of younger artists.
“It’s incredibly exciting to not only be setting out on tour again, but now with a brand new set of songs to play alongside some of our, ahem, ‘greatest hits’, says drummer, Dave Morgan.
“The Loft has always been just the same four people and it’s a real thrill to be playing across the UK with the band again. We’re sounding better than ever…”
OLDFIELD YOUTH CLUB Formed in Autumn 2018 OYC is made up of 3/4 of critically acclaimed 1980's pop group The Last Party (2 No. Peel Sessions & Melody Maker Single of the Week with their debut single ‘Mr Hurst’).
Featuring Simon Rivers (Bitter Springs), Neil Palmer & Kim Rivers, reunited with the idea being to pare down & simplify Simon’s songs/lyrics - as a result they are short, powerful, catchy and direct
GERARD STARKIE Former lead singer with Witness, the band signed to Island Records released two albums; Before The Calm (1999) and Under A Sun (2001). They both received the most extraordinary critical applause, some of which was especially reserved for Starkie's own performances.
Gerard now performs and records as both a solo artist and with Hazel Winter as The Jesus Bolt
Tickets will go on sale at 10.00am on Saturday 19th October
