Billy Bibby, former lead guitarist and founding member of Catfish and the Bottlemen, brings his band The Wry Smiles to Stoke On Trent for a night of British rock. The band, formed in 2015 around Llandudno and Chester, has toured extensively across the UK, playing over 70 shows in 2016 alone.
Attendees can expect a setlist drawing from the band's debut EP *Bide Your Time* and singles like "Waitin' for You" and "Are You Ready?", which have received radio play on BBC Radio Wales and Radio X. The band's sound is influenced by Elvis Presley, Fleetwood Mac, and Noel Gallagher, among others.
This show offers a chance to see a band that has earned recognition from BBC Music's Horizons Launchpad and the Arts Council of Wales, performing in an intimate venue setting.
