Those Damn Crows

Bristol Exchange

Welsh hard rockers with arenas in their sights make a detour to an intimate setting.

It’s less than three hours ‘til stage time. Everyone has battled Storm Ciara to get here, and the auditorium at the tiny Exchange is full of gear. Bassist Lloyd Wood is limping on an ankle that’s doubled in size since he leapt off a riser last night. Singer Shane Greenhall is losing his voice and feels like death (he apologises for his pre-show silence in very polite mouthing and improvised sign-language). Completing the picture is Kev the guitar tech, covering for Shane One-two, one-two! ”
