LOCAL band Roving Crows release their third full album, Bury Me Naked, launching it with a gig on Friday, April 8 at Gloucester Guildhall, with support from Nick Parker.

The RSK Youth Dance Company from Ballet Malvern will join the the band onstage at various points throughout the show to add some specially choreographed backing to some of the numbers.

Over eight years and evolving incarnations Worcestershire/Gloucestershire-based Roving Crows have cultivated a sound that pushes the boundaries of Celtic folk rock.

Vital and vibrant, as a live-act they weave frontman Paul O’Neill’s intriguing lyrics with a percussive mix of pounding, tribal and electronica infused grooves set opposite more hypnotic material.

While O’Neill plays electric and acoustic guitars, Loz Shaw multi tasks across bass, keyboards, guitars, clarinet, banjolina and kalimba and Tim Downes-Hall provides percussion, underpinned by Caitlin Barrett’s brilliantly insistent fiddle.
