CHORLTON: Wilbraham St Ninians Church

THU 23RD MAY, 2013 7: 30pm

Two serious songwriters, who wear big, thick-framed glasses, walk out
onto the stage to the sound of the Jaws theme tune, set off bubble
machines, and play glockenspiels, toy pianos, shakers and snares - welcome to the world of The Candle Thieves.

They summon up the spirits of Eels, Sufjan Stevens, and the Lucksmiths in their sounds, but make wonderful songs that are utterly their own.

Support comes from Sheffield based, Heath Common and The Thin Man. Following their highly successful debut at last year's festival, this pair return as part of a lengthy tour promoting their second album, 'Performance'.
