METRONOMY TO PLAY EXCLUSIVE GIG IN TORBAY ON 18 SEPTEMBER
On Sunday 18th September, super group Metronomy will be returning to their native South Devon to do an exclusive live show at The Attic/Venue nightclub on Torquay’s harbourside.
Metronomy started out as the solo project of lead singer and songwriter, Joseph Mount in 1999. Joseph is from Totnes and the current single entitled The Bay was filmed in Torbay with the help of the local tourist board. The single is enjoying international success and the video has had almost a million views already on You Tube in just a few weeks.
The single comes from the album entitled The English Riviera. The album has just been nominated as Album of the Year for the highly prestigious Barclaycard Mercury Music Prize with the winners to be announced on 6th September. Metronomy opened the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury this year and were recently on The Jools Holland Show. Their music is infectious, melodic, electronic, dancey, current and stylish.
Metronomy join the list of Devon music success stories – Muse, Coldplay, Joss Stone, Seth Lakeman all emerged from Devon in recent years to enjoy international acclaim.
Tickets are just £12 in advance from www.ticketweb.co.uk, or seetickets.com or direct from Metronomy.co.uk
It is expected that demand will be high. This extra show has been arranged due to public demand as their previously announced Dartington Hall show in Totnes sold out within 24hrs. 247 Magazine are proud to be involved supporting the gig, alongside Torbay newspaper The Herald Express to help make this prestigious event happen.
