GIG: OUR MAN IN THE BRONZE AGE RETURN TO THE CRAUFURD ARMS

Our Man in the Bronze Age are live at The Craufurd Arms on Saturday night (Dec 19).

Want festive tracks and a cheery glow? Look elsewhere.

But if four-part harmonies, three-way guitar grating and two drumming beat-checkers fire you up, this gig is the one for you.

Versatility is key, and so one moment you'll be tempted by a loose, light, haunting vocal, the next you'll be open to a rhythmic battering.

Back in the summer they spilled the terrific Habanero EP and its fair to expect produce pulled from that to feature at the Wolverton date, which sees the post-rock experimentalists at play with Reuben tribute Los Skeletos.

Promising new alternatives Icarus Fell are tasked with opening the billing at the bash. A new single is mooted for the new year from them, so keep your ears to the ground, or preferably with us, and we'll tell you when.

Tickets are six quid and doors open at 7.30pm.
