UNCLE ARTHUR AND THE ALLEY CAT
Thursday 18th July – 21:30 – FREE ENTRY
Uncle Arthur & The Alley Cat are a lively acoustic duo from Cambridge, UK. The pair got together through a friendship originally formed in college when they were both on the same music course. After college – almost 10 years went past without seeing each other when they met by chance and decided to have a jam. On that first jam session… they clicked instantly and realised this was something both of them wanted to push.
Now they play around the country weekly – with 18 months of lockdowns and writing sessions to make up for… In 2023 they came heavy with original content releases. The first of which in the form of their debut track ‘My Darlin Hates Me’.
Keep your eyes peeled for these two – and get down to a show if you can!
