House of Cards Presents are delighted to welcome The Rockingbirds back to Manchester this coming Friday (29th).
Few follow-ups have been as long-awaited as The Rockingbird's The Return Of The Rockingbirds - 17 years. It certainly seems that the album has lived up to all great expectations set by its predecessors.
"They've never sounded better" ★★★★ - Mojo
The RockingbirdsThe short version of The Rockingbirds saga is that they released two acclaimed albums, but effectively burned out due to an over-enthusiastic lifestyle and imploded.
However, when their label, Heavenly Recordings, threw an 18th birthday festival in London in 2008, The Rockingbirds arose phoenix-like to play the Southbank on, September 13th.
Now they have signed to the magnificent Loose records, their new album 'The Return of the Rockingbirds' will be released on Monday 25th February.
The Rockingbirds are: Patrick Arbuthnot (pedal steel), Andrew Hackett (guitar, backing vocals), Dave Morgan (drums), Mark Duncan (bass), Sean Read (keyboards, horns, backing vocals) & Alan Tyler (acoustic guitar, vocals).
