Gig review: Starsailor at Brudenell Social Club, Leeds
James Walshβs βQuiet is the New Loudβ veterans continue their 25th anniversary celebrations.
Starsailor at Brudenell Social Club, Leeds. "It felt less like a nostalgia trip and more like a reminder of how good Starsailor always were. In a venue built on authenticity, they delivered exactly that: heartfelt songs and strong musicianship." buff.ly/cNH43wJ #music #musicians #starsailor
