For today’s video we go to my home town of Medway for the brilliant, moody promo for the new single by Theatre Royal.

The records will only be available on 7″ vinyl, and earlybirds will be able to pick up a copy over the last weekend of each month when the the bands involved head out on a whistlestop tour taking in Rochester, Margate, Islington and Folkestone.

I haven’t been to The Chambers before, so when we popped in on Thursday night to see Theatre Royal put on a free gig I was a little surprised at the layout. Underground and split into two bars and with no obvious stage it took a while to spot where the band had set up. Eventually we found the drum kits and guitars at the back of one of the bars half hidden behind two archways – not ideal! Read more…
Named after the Chatham theatre the band formed in, Theatre Royal formed in April 2009.
