Hillingdon talent makes great Strides

THE Crown and Treaty pub, in Oxford Road, Uxbridge, has a delicious array of talent lined up within its historical walls on Friday and it’s free entry before 10pm and just £5 after.

Hillingdon’s own five-piece named Strides are on the bill. Strides, whose single ‘Graffiti’ is available now, posses a blistering and screeching punk guitar edge to their sound, yet somehow remain tight and focused.

Think The Clash meets The Libertines and you’re halfway there. Go to www.soundcloud.com/stridesband.

Also on the Treaty stage this Friday are Syndicate, Leap Year and Bearheads.

In other news, the music-madcap-mayhem themed internet-only Facebook streamed show Live At Lenny’s has now moved location to the Cat and Fiddle pub in Rowan Road, West Drayton.

If you want to be part of the crowd then get yourself down to the pub every Sunday from 8pm. Failing that you can simply search for ‘Live At Lennys’ on Facebook and either watch the live stream or the catch up video.
