Ryan's Gig Guide - January 2019

SCOTT DOONICAN (solo) You are going to certainly hear Scott Dooni- can getting angry about an array of subjects: Bono, traffic, not being able to get a coffee- flavoured coffee for less than £7.80, the state of eyebrows nowadays, Nando's, Gary chuff- ing Barlow and other minor day to day irri- tants too. Did I mentionTrump? Oh, and that cockwomble as well.  www.ticketsource.co.uk/thebarstewardsons  Friday 25th January Katie Fitzgerald’s, Stourbridge WIN TICKETS ONLINE: Go to: Closing date: A free draw.

Astoundingly beautiful indie pop, their sound takes you back to your favourite summer evenings chilling out on the beach with your faves. Stunningly effortless vocals from Aphra Smith & fabulous guitar & bass work lends the music an alt-80s vibe, particularly on recent track "Upside-Down". It's no retro-fest - this is unmistakably modern, unassuming, chillded-out dream-pop. Go see them headline a fantastic local line-up at the O2 Academy Birmingham on Saturday 12th January.
