For those unaware, best known for singles such as Hit The Ground and You’ve Got To Choose, the American hits Crystal Clear, Please Yourself, and It Makes No Difference, and the UK hit album Pop Said..., The Darling Buds remain favorites of the pre-Britpop landscape, rooted in great songwriting and powerful live performances.

Fronted by the acclaimed, and much lauded Andrea Lewis, the band continue to play live to a passionate fan base and will be promoting Same Sun / Same Sky around the UK. For fans old and new, Same Sun / Same Sky is a delightful return from a much-loved Welsh treasure.

The Welsh indie pop icons open on the jangly brilliance of Hey Saint Jude and the sterner melodic fare of Intruder and then comes the drum-led pop-tastic Oh No You Don’t, the free flowing, summery breeze of Lost Time, with both the psych-pop sounds of Jump In and the beautiful balladry of Giddy In A Good Way along next.

Then we get gifted the veritably glistening, at first, latterly guitar magnificence of Cut Me Dead and the roustabout Cast A Stone which are in turn backed seamlessly by the vibrantly cultured Pretenders, the harmonic Paper Planes, the set rounding out on the emotively engaging Leaving The Scene, coming to a close on the reverberating goodness of Pollyanna Says.
