"This band are so great. I love the vibe, which takes me back to CBGB's in New York in the late 70s” - Chris Difford, Squeeze
"If there was ever a band to fall instantly in love with, it is The Tapestry!” - John Robb, Louder Than War
“Fucking tune!” - Liam Gallagher
Flogging pictures of a well-known children's TV presenter caning chemicals in a nightclub isn't the usual way for a band to find start up cash. Most people just get a job in a guitar shop.
“We're not too proud of it but it was worth it to start the band and buy the instruments!”
The Tapestry are from Manchester. They are Liam Faherty (vocals/guitar) Katy Baker (Bass/vocals) Dyna (Guitar/vocals) and Zara Finnegan (Drums/vocals). Their tunes are both impossibly catchy and implausibly glamorous.
It's early days, but so far the guys have got stuck in to recording their debut album with Mr. Jim Spencer (Johnny Marr, New Order and The Charlatans) and cutting their teeth live. So far they've managed to attract the approval of Liam Gallagher.
“He showed up at a London show recently, we had a chin wag backstage and he was a total gent. Later we got the 'Fucking tune!' seal of approval.”
'Right As rain' is released on April 14th 2014. Watch the brilliant video below.
Having supported The Strypes, Pete Doherty,The View, Young Knives & The Courteeners, The Tapestry are set to play 2 headline shows in April. The band will play:
11th April - Ruby Lounge, Manchester (This Feeling)
12th April - Queen of Hoxton, London (This Feeling)
Details for tickets and more club nights all around the UK can be found here.

SCOTTISH INDIE LEGENDS THE VIEW to take time out from recording new album to DJ at THIS FEELING THROUGHOUT APRIL.
Scots songsmiths to take up residency at the UK's most rock and roll night out...
THE VIEW, who are currently writing and demoing for their new LP, are set to play four special DJ sets at their favourite club night, THIS FEELING in Edinburgh (Voodoo Rooms, April 4th), Glasgow (Record Factory, April 5th), London (Queen of Hoxton, April 12th) and Sheffield (The Leadmill, April 19th).
After eight years of pretty much relentless touring the world and a career spawning three top ten albums, THE VIEW are one of the UK's most treasured bands and say "we've been hard at work on the new record so it's nice to take a breather and party with our fans at our favourite night out, This Feeling!"
Last year's 'Seven Year Setlist' - a glorious tribute to their famous live shows - cemented their status as a band full of character and big songs…An absolute gem of a band and you can bet these will be DJ sets to remember from these Wasted Little DJ's!

Folks have Noel Gallagher’s “stalker” to thank after they were left stranded at a service station in Germany.
The Manchester band were supporting the former Oasis man when they suffered a freak incident on the road.
But they were rescued by a Noel obsessive before launching into an impromptu booze-fuelled car park set of Oasis covers.
Speaking after Folks’ Biz Session, guitarist Michael Beasley said: “Our van driver snapped the key in the ignition and we got stuck at a service station for 12 hours.
“Luckily they sell beer so everybody was getting f*****-up. Then one of Noel Gallagher’s stalkers turned up in this Oasis-emblazoned car.
“He offered to assist us. He got all these guitars out of his car and we ended up doing an Oasis tribute gig in this car park for three hours.
“He was more than helpful to the point where you think, ‘This is a bit weird.’
“But we took him back to our hotel and allowed him into the soundcheck for Noel’s show in Munich. Noel was alright about it.”
Singer Scott Anderson added: “We spent 11 hours with him. He was very nice. He’s coming on holiday every year with us now.”
Folks have supported such acts as The View and Miles Kane on tour so far – but the banter they shared with Noel is still fresh in the memory.
Not least because of their Manchester footie rivalry.
Michael recalled: “We’re all Manchester United fans so there’s a bit of a rivalry because he’s a City fan, of course.
“The first time we played with Noel was at the Roundhouse in London just before Christmas.
“City had just beaten us 6-1 so he was giving all the lads grief. Then he came up to me and said, ‘What about that? F****** 6-1!’
“I said, ‘Dude, I’ve had f****** 20 years of success with United. Feels good doesn’t it?’”
However, the songwriter/guitarist left Noel scratching his head one drunken post-gig night in Paris.
“There was a band playing that would perform any song that you asked for,” he said.
“As is customary, Noel had the first choice of song and he chose the Kinks. Then he looked at me and said, ‘You choose now.’ I was a bit p*****. I’m like, ‘Can you play Mother by John Lennon?’
“He came up to me and said, ‘It’s a f****** party – and you’re asking for a song about your dead mother!’”

Oasis
The View
Celtic boss Neil Lennon stunned guests at a top hotel by belting out Oasis hits in the early hours.
The Parkhead manager joined The View stars Kyle Falconer and Pete Reilly for the 4am singalong in Glasgow's Radisson Hotel.
But the fun was stopped when a killjoy member of staff confiscated their guitar.
The lads had been partying to celebrate the success of the Celtic v Manchester United Legends match. All of the big-hearted stars had helped raise £500,000 for charity in Tuesday night's game.
Lennon and Co were joined by actor Gerard Butler, Westlife star Nicky Byrne and telly host Patrick Kielty at the after-party. The celebs had all played at Parkhead.
One guest said: "The lads were all in high spirits and there was a brilliant party atmosphere.
"They were happy chatting away to fans who all wanted to talk about the game. All the players and the stars had given their time for free so they were entitled to let their hair down a bit.
"But the big surprise was Lenny's voice when he started singing with The View boys - it was sensational. He was belting out Cigarettes And Alcohol and then they started doing some View numbers.

Taken From Noel's Tour Diary For Oasisinet
Benicassim? What a fuckin' waste of time! If it wasn't for those bloody kids it would've been a disaster. I really can't say enough about the crowd. Unbelievable behaviour. Special mention to the topless birds - what a welcome sight that was!
The problem was...wait for it...yes! The fuckin' PA. It blew TWICE!! And the monitor system blew TWICE!! It's becoming a joke. And not a very funny one.
Those little lads from The View joined us backstage for warm beer. Now, I'm down with the Scotch. Irie Nancy's one. So is The Mighty I (effectively). No problem with them. But what that lot were going on about I'll never know. Had to get James from Glasvegas to translate. He was none the wiser.
Weller's up there tonight. Some of us are going to see him. It'll probably get pretty messy.
Off to Berne in the morning. That's in Switzerland.
I've got nothing else to say.
In a bit.
