Wrexham’s Baby Brave have a unique sound which is described as ‘infectious, guitar-driven noise-pop’.

Drawing on influences from PJ Harvey, Brian Eno, My Bloody Valentine and Talking Heads, this fearless-four-piece have a gutsy, heavy sound.

Their most recent release being a highly anticipated second E.P. ‘Tacky Birthday’ in November 2015. The success of their first offering, a four track E.P. ‘King Horse’ (2014 Drum With Our Hands) soon had the attention of BBC Radio Wales, as well as grabbing the band festival appearances and regular gigs across the UK that included support slots for Bo Ningen, Stealing Sheep, H Hawkline, Slow Club, Colorama and Gulf.

Baby Brave’s cocktail concoctions of pop music continue to intoxicate audiences across the UK, so catch them in the intimate surroundings of The Castle Hotel while you can!

2016 is looking like a super exciting year for FOXTALES.

With their self-titled debut EP recently released to critical acclaim, they already have a number of gigs lined up across the country.

FOXTALES are a mostly girl band, made up of four girls, and one boy; Amy (guitar/vocals) Cassie (guitar/vocals) Angela (mandolin/vocals) Briony (bass) and The Scoon (drums).

They create a dark psychedelic folk, woven with glittering harmonies that tell stories of lust, love and loss.

For this very special rare acoustic set the band will be playing as an acoustic 3 piece, with a sneak peak of some brand new songs yet to be released, and a few old classics thrown in too!
