A WOODLEY band performed two sold-out shows at a venue close to their hearts ahead of a busy summer.
Only The Poets made our front page last week with the news that they’d signed to EMI Records ahead of a tour supporting Lewis Capaldi.
On Saturday, February 4, the band played two gigs at The Purple Turtle to celebrate the news for their homecoming.
Speaking to Reading Today in our exclusive interview, lead vocalist Tommy Longhurst said that the venue: “Means a lot to me, and that bar is ingrained in the DNA of Only The Poets.”
While on stage, he asked how many of the audience had flown to see the band’s show and around thirty hands went up, showing the dedication and geographical range of their fan-base.
The band recently sold out shows across Europe, including at venues in Prague, Vienna, Antwerp, and Berlin.
Now the band will go on to perform their tour in Europe next week, which will see them supporting Lewis Capaldi in Poland, Austira, Czech Republic, and Belgium, before a final show at the Shepherds Bush Empire in London in May.
