Fabulous
Rosie and the boys knocked it out of the park. Despite the heat ,(and it was very warm in Fire bug, air-conditioning very feeble) They had energy and wit and for once I could hear every word. Loved it. Praise to for the organisers as there were 3 bands playing but the event ran like clockwork.

Leeds-based post-punk and goth-rock band The March Violets formed in 1981, quickly establishing themselves as a distinctive force within the UK’s alternative underground. Their early sound fused driving basslines, sharp-edged guitars and dark, atmospheric vocals, drawing on post-punk urgency while embracing gothic mood and intensity. The original line-up featured Tom Ashton (guitar), Laurence “Loz” Elliot (bass), Simon “Detroit” Denbigh (vocals) and Rosie Garland (vocals), a combination that helped shape the band’s unmistakable identity.
The March Violets achieved major indie success with their single “Walk into the Sun,” which topped the UK indie charts and became a defining track of the era. Further releases such as “Deep,” “Snake Dance” and “Crow Baby” cemented their reputation for brooding, high-energy songwriting. Their later albums Made Glorious (2013) and Mortality (2015) reaffirmed the band’s lasting creative power, blending classic post-punk menace with renewed intensity. Across decades, The March Violets have remained a vital name in British goth and alternative music.
