A POP-punk four-piece is offering an alternative New Year’s Eve experience.
Durham-based Martha is to play a Halloween-themed party at the arts venue Empty Shop, off Framwelgate Bridge, in Durham City.
The band is promoting its debut album Courting Strong and offers impassioned political pop, inspired by Billy Bragg and the Beautiful South.
Martha have been described as thrilling, likeable and one of Britain’s best rock bands. For more information, visit marthadiy.bandcamp.com
