We were lucky enough to catch up with The Enemy on board their tour bus prior to their Birmingham show.

Wavves have always had a cult-like following and in this intimate venue it is clear to see.

Nooses, cups of tea and Lenny Henry; sister folk act, The Staves, bring the unexpected to their most recent show in Birmingham.
