The Lounge Society
Intimate concert from this band who all hail from the Upper Calder Valley and have come to prominence nationally since 2020 with their politically charged songs underpinned by great dance beats and Indie-punk attitude. However for their Wainsgate concert, in a unique, unplugged departure from their normal style, The Lounge Society will be performing acoustically to a sit-down audience.
