Fir, Wolfman and the Laterals and Drew Stephenson

Get ready for an unforgettable night at The Samuel Worth Chapel as Sheffield favourites Fir return with their rich, rootsy blend of rock and Americana; Wolfman and the Laterals bring raw, working-class soul with indie grit straight from the city’s heart; and Drew Stephenson delivers offbeat storytelling and melodic charm, joined by a virtuoso crew of musical misfits.

Fir
Returning to the Samuel Worth Chapel, not-quite-yet-legendary Sheffield band Fir bring their intriguing blend of rock, Americana, and country-infused melodies to the stage. Having spent too much time listening to Tom Petty, R.E.M. and Jason Isbell, their songs have thoughtful lyrics, laid-back warmth and bursts of foot-stomping drive.

Wolfman and the Laterals
From the streets of Sheffield, Wolfman and the Laterals deliver indie rock with a soul that runs deep. Forget the polished image – this is music made by a bin man, an electrician, a door maker, and a university backroom lad, all united by a shared passion.  Their sound? A potent blend of indie rock with a touch of country grit, forged in the city’s heart and meant to be experienced live. They pour their lives into every note, crafting albums that capture the raw energy of their live shows.
