Armed with a clutch of tunes that recall the spikey pop of the jam,the streets verbal poetry and a whisper of the beatles, The Longfellows have a developed an impressively large following in London, especially for an unsigned band. They remind us of the early Camden days of Madness, and we highly recommend them.
Jon Byrne is an artist of the zeitgeist & his music tells it how it is, pulling no punches on delivery.

Formed in 2009, Flight Brigade deliver wickedly memorable songs that burst with heart-felt energy. Their sound revolves around the song-writing talents of singer Oliver Baines. Born to an American mother and English Father, Baines grew up in rural Ohio before moving to England where he met violinist Dorry Hughes and her sister Miriam. When the trio teamed up with musician friends from college - Brigitte, Thomas, Neil and Tom - Flight Brigade was born. The seven-piece lineup create a home-grown and highly melodic sound, fusing uplifting tunes alongside moments of powerful poignancy.
