Let Theme Park’s winsome good vibe pop melodies brighten the encroaching winter nights and bring some warm fuzziness to your lives. Unfairly maligned in some quarters over the years for being too safe, we like their bright and breezy pop style and just what is so wrong with being nice anyway? This years single ‘You are Real’ is a cheery blast of infectious disco lite grooviness that hits all the right pop notes. One of only four confirmed gigs for this year so don’t miss out. Also appearing are the balearically blessed Cristobal and The Sea whose dreamy world music infused folk rock rhythms reflect the diversity within the band. Wildly eclectic and supremely chilled. Local bright young things and self confessed tropical poppers Cinema complete the bill. Come and get some sunshine in December.
