MUSIC: The Sherlocks announce Irish date

FOLLOWING on from their sold-out UK tour in September, Sheffield four-piece The Sherlocks have announced a Dublin date for early next year. 

The band, consisting of two sets of brothers (Kiaran Crook (lead vocals/rhythm guitar), Josh Davidson (vocals/lead guitar), Andy Davidson (backing vocals/bass guitar) and Brandon Crook (drums) have been steadily building a solid live following and were the first unsigned band since Arctic Monkeys to sell out their local venue, the Sheffield Lead mill.

With great support from the likes of Steve Lamacq, Annie Mac &andHuw Stephens, this is a young band following in the great tradition of guitar groups from their area.

The Sherlocks have drawn obvious comparisons from their influencers (The Jam, The Clash, Arctic Monkeys) but this is a band with unquenchable ambition intending to create their own unique sound and already captivating new audiences.

 Having secured a much-coveted support slot on the Libertine’s Arena Tour earlier this year, as well as festival slots at Reading, Leeds and Bestival amongst others, the band are embarking on a headline tour in February next year including venues such as Sheffield’s Foundry and Manchester’s Albert Hall.

They will then travel to Ireland where they will play the Grand Social, Dublin, on February 12.
