The Cavs + Full Billy +The Stride Saturday 8th February 2025 | Sunbird Records, Darwen

A night of Indie Rock N Roll featuring 3 of the hottest bands in the UK right now – The Cavs, Full Billy and The Stride

The Cavs – The Cavs are a 5 piece indie/rock outfit from Manchester who have developed a reputation for their creative style of indie rock that focuses on blending melodic hooks with frenetic guitar lines. They draw on a wide range of musical influences from acts such as Kasabian, Elbow and the Libertines.

Their live shows are known for being energetic and engaging experiences that keep audiences hooked until the end.

Nominated this year by This Feeling as ‘Big in 2023’ and ‘the ones to watch’ they are due to sell out headline shows in their hometown of Manchester this year. They have previously supported acts such as The Chase, Spangled and Jonny Brown (Twisted Wheel), The Howlers and Apollo Junction.

Full Billy – Despite hailing from North West England, alt rockers Full Billy eschew the typical indie centric sounds usually associated with the region in favour of something bigger, bolder, and all together more encompassing.Harbouring the arena filling bombast of bands such as The Killers, and offsetting it against the raw, heart-on-sleeve emotion of bands such as Jimmy Eat World. As such the four-piece succeed in bridging the gap between the anthemic and the heartfelt; expertly blurring the lines between indie and alt-rock effortlessly.

The Stride – a 4 piece Rock ‘n’ Roll band from Burnley. They bring their attitude and look from the football terraces of the north west. From playing small gigs around the pubs of Burnley, The Stride have moved into playing bigger venues around neighbouring areas such as Manchester, London, Sheffield and many more.
