CVC

BIOGRAPHY

Entering as an NME 100 hotly-tipped act early last year and closing out 10 insane months with a Welsh Music Prize nomination, all while squeezing in a run of BBC 6 Music and Radio X-playlisted singles (including the heavily-streamed, live fan favorite, "Sophie"), the band’s understandable sense of “where next?” has led to the upping of antes and kicking at even bigger doors.

Taking care of the beat, the bop and the boogie, CVC (Church Village Collective in longhand, after where they were brought up together in rural isolation) have confounded critics at the same time as causing tremors at every point of Britain’s A-To-Z, by yielding fresh crops from seasoned seeds. A band that had Dr Dre, Hall and Oates and The Doobie Brothers doodled on their school notebooks in letters of equal height, the people they seek to please are the good timers. CVC are the band everyone wants to be with - or be in!

Never happier than when on the road, whether at home, in Europe, or over in the USA, the South Wales-originated group will play their biggest run of UK shows to date, including a statement homecoming where they’ll be playing to almost 2,000 people in Cardiff University’s Great Hall.

With the promise of more new music to come this year, CVC remain the six-headed, close-knit, cradle-to-grave band of brothers: Francesco Orsi (Vocals & Keyboards); Dave Bassey (Vocals, Guitars & Keyboards); Elliot Bradfield (Vocals, Guitars & Sax); Daniel 'Nanial' Jones (Keyboards & Percussion); Ben Thorne (Bass) and Tom Fry (Drums).
