    Sun 15 Feb – The Heartbreak Ball @ The Slaughtered Lamb, London

    All we were told to expect beforehand were balloons and cupcakes, but we were delivered much, much more with the basement of the Slaughtered Lamb in London proving the perfect setting for the Heartbreak Ball on February 15. From the sofas and antique lamps to the floral wallpaper and black painted ceiling, it felt more like a gathering of friends in a large living room than a gig.

    To start the evening’s events, the host, Jeremy Warmsley took to the stage with his new outfit, Little Words, to perform a series of Magnetic Fields’ covers. They were followed by Hereford four-piece Gossamer Albatross, who played their dark, eerie, intelligently arranged folk/pop which was well received.

    With A Classic Education unfortunately having to return to Italy at late notice, Edinburgh-born Stars of Sunday League were next up. Lead vocalist and guitarist Euan Robinson wasted no time in charming the audience with his funny anecdotes and great storytelling…
