Thank your lucky stars, the stellar shine again. Following a fairly fallow 2024/25 - due to grim illness and its gruff treatment - the glorious Gales are now readying themselves to rock n roll afresh next February. Tickets go on sale Fri Oct 31st at 10AM www.thenightingales.org.uk/live

And... then there were five. Welcome aboard sublime Brummie super talent Natalie Mason. As BBC6music probably said “This sparkling cherry on the icing of pop music’s tastiest cake sees John Cale finally relegated to #2 in the official ‘Best Viola Player In Rock’ chart”

Brilliance now beams brighter
