The Tapestry Announce New Single To Coincide With 'This Feeling' Shows

"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.

Noel Gallagher Checks Out The Strypes In London

Former Oasis man was among the heaving crowd crammed into the Old Blue Last.

Noel Gallagher was among the crowd that crammed into London's Old Blue Last on Thursday (January 23) to watch The Strypes – you can watch fan shot footage of the gig below.

The gig by the Mercury-signed band, who come from Cavan in Ireland, saw such lengthy queues that the band swiftly added an additional set to avoid disappointing the legions of fans and industry that had thronged to see them.


The band, clad in smart mod suits and with singer Ross Farrelly sporting shades throughout, played energised takes on classic rock and R&B covers including Bo Diddley's 'You Can’t Judge A Book By It's Cover', T-Bone Walker's 'Call It Stormy Monday (But Tuesday Is Just As Bad)' and Muddy Waters' 'Mannish Boy'.

Gallagher is the latest in a string of celebrities to watch the hype-heavy band - once described as "One Direction in mod suits" on account of having only written two original songs - after Elton John caught them live in Brighton and Miles Kane attended another show.

All four members of The Strypes are aged between just 14 and 16 and they have appeared on Ireland's Late Late Show several times in the past year.
