Acclaimed Oxfordshire five-piece The Dreaming Spires mark their eagerly awaited return with a special hometown show following the release of their new album, Normal Town, on Clubhouse Records.
The album was inspired by coverage of a 2017 study which concluded that Didcot was 'the most normal town in England'. The record explores themes of home, nostalgia, alienation and the beauty of everyday life, blending 60s rock 'n' roll influences with chamber pop accents, underpinned by a subtle layer of political commentary.
''...power-pop hooks and sweet harmonies'' 8/10 UNCUT
Opening the show will be poet and artist Shaun Belcher, reading from his ‘Thames Valley Texas’ poetry collection – all about subjects within 5 miles of Cornerstone!
WOOD HQ is the organisation behind the acclaimed Wood Festival, sister event Septembersong, and one-off ‘Happenings’ such as this one.
