The Darling Buds bring their melodic, hook-driven alternative rock to Birmingham for a special show. Fans can expect a setlist drawn from the band's late-80s and early-90s catalog, including tracks from their debut LP *Pop Said...* and the US single "Long Day in the Universe."
The Newport-formed band, fronted by Andrea Lewis, was known for its catchy, short-duration singles and was part of the late-80s "Blonde" movement alongside The Primitives and Transvision Vamp. This concert offers a chance to experience their energetic live performance, which once earned them appearances on *Top of the Pops* and the cover of *Melody Maker*.

Lineup
The Darling Buds
The Darling Buds are an alternative rock band from Newport, Wales. The band formed in 1986 and were named after the H. E. Bates novel The Darling Buds of May – a title taken in turn, from the third line of Shakespeare's Sonnet 18: "Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May".
