I'm 66 years old. Yep. Came across this band after a review in my local paper. Got to say - very impressed!!

[@metalbearuk]

Alan Hunton Nearly 60 here, and this is a band that would have slipped under my radar because I'm mainly a rock and metal fan, but heard them on XS Manchester and was blown away. Have everything they've done now, and saw them at Manchester Cathedral for the first time. People mention they sound like this and that band, but I've listened to the bands they're supposed to sound like, and they do nothing for me. SRC have great melodies and lyrics that really stand out.

[@af211262]

58 and on!

[@keepingcalm6469]

Saw them in Hamburg. Play them in the car up and down and up and down and up and down.... good stuff.

[@pedromerigui]

My god how come they arent one of the biggest bands around? I mean, they deserve a lot more mainstream success and recognition!

[@mobsiesixsixsix9785]

It's because of their anti establishment views I imagine.

[@grahamabbott9688]

Totally agree, I'm a big fan of new order, stone roses, Inspiral carpets etc and these are right up there

[@mrallyg]

This gig was the 1st time I seen The Slow Readers Club live and I'm glad I made the trip down from Scotland . The gig was outstanding / off the scale

[@johnj28]

I live in Southern Indiana, just across the river from Louisville, Kentucky in America and the Slow Readers Club are my 10 year olds favorite band! I am over 50 and I like them too!

[@user-jb8yt8ti9g]

Fantastic band👍🏻

[@ChrisR_68]

This band is amazing live, one of the best live bands that are around at the moment. I'm a huge fan of these guys but I'm Also a massive fan of music so there are loads of bands over the years that I've said of the same. And there Is so much out there that I've me very heard yet but these guys are the best live band at this moment for me anyway. This is the closet I will get to them unfortunately 🙁 because of my health, so Thank you guys for sharing this, filmed beautifully. Love & peace xxxxx

[@vanessasherlock4826]

Loving listening to this at work right now, I saw them twice at Portsmouth Victorius festival, the first time heard their song playing as I went over the brow of the hill and though "wow, whoever they are, they sound amazing" so went to watch their set and was instantly hooked. Went back the following year just to see them play there again. Such amazing energy, shows the power for music and how it can lift you.

[@paulag3026]

Totally brilliant live!!!! Outstanding!!!! 😀😀

[@S1eep1ess]

We certainly are The Slow Readers Club. What a night. READERS!

[@thegatsbys6309]

can´t wait to see you guys in my hometown!

[@EmmaRoydsared]

I'm 55, and my daughter of 34 has given me many things, like love, affection, pride and laughter. She also gave to me these lads. Not overly sure which one of the above gives me the most happiness 😊

[@neilbradford6490]

This band deserves to hit the big time Best band I have heard in years Keep going going lads love the music

[@marcdavies5810]

Hope they don't, I like them being our band. Big music corporate will ruin everything like they aaalways do

[@flesley1970]

[@paulclarkson2614]

saw these guys at Deer Shed last weekend - they really are a breath of fresh air - they remind me so mch of early Simple Minds. That's a good thing. They seem to be bringing back real music

[@mobsiesixsixsix9785]

Me too :-) Dancing in the mud.

[@MoogerTuber]

The opening track is a killer of an opening track.

[@mikedavies6461]

[@alechill6533]

fantastic and cant wait for the tour starting in October ,with the Manchester Apollo now fully sold out. this is going to be some tour

[@carlgreenhalgh7861]

This was a sell out of a 2000 capacity gig.. Next stop Manchester Apollo ?? Total confidence that would be a sell out too.. Especially with the incredidle and unbelievably fantastic new album Build A Tower

[@burnshelen6292]

I'm going to miss 'FFYP' being the opener -- gives me chills of anticipation whenever I hear it. Still, onwards and upwards!

[@fac192]

Cant wait for my signed vinyl :)

[@andrewhall857]

JUST ANNOUNCED The Slow Readers Club HEADLINE Head For The Hills Festival (Formerly Ramsbottom Festival) Friday 14th September - Ramsbottom Cricket Club - Lancashire. Tickets still available at headforthehills.org.uk/tickets/?instance_id=14201

[@romyrixinger482]

When will you perform in Germany? ❤

[@DavePortsmouth1964]

I saw them support James when they were down to a two piece acoustic set for the night which was okay but nothing special. Luckily they were joined by two members of James for the last song which got my attention so I checked them out further. Loved them since.

[@northmancposse]

prefered the roadhouse gig myself haha! great work lads well deserved people finally getting the message

[@mikeparry7281]

Tomorrow the Ritz

[@gordanbriski7437]

Gods

[@steveshadforth]

I guess they’re fans of the Editors

[@stuartedwards3296]

what's the name of the first song?

[@ChrisR_68]

They

[@amdby]

fab band, but I saw them last week, and the whole gig was following a pre-recorded backing track, with the musicians playing along...this doesn't really allow for any spontaneity with the crowd, and no chance of an encore. If the singer can't sing and play keyboard at the same time, that's fair enough, but they should get a session keyboard player for live gigs, in my humble opinion.

[@gerbrand8132]

I think the bass player has a few sore feet after the concert 🤷 ♂️
