About The Sherlocks
Hailing from Bolton-on-Dearne, South Yorkshire, The Sherlocks first burst onto the indie scene with a sound that was immediately recognisable yet refreshingly authentic. Formed by brothers Kiaran (vocals, guitar) and Brandon Crook (drums), the band initially included brothers Andy and Josh Davidson, before settling on their current dynamic lineup with Alex Procter on guitar and Trent Jackson on bass. Their journey from playing local pubs to selling out major venues is a testament to their unwavering dedication and the infectious quality of their music.
The Sherlocks’ sound is a potent blend of classic rock sensibilities and modern alternative flair, characterised by driving rhythms, catchy guitar riffs, and Kiaran Crook’s distinctive vocal delivery. They craft anthemic tracks perfect for festival stages and intimate club nights alike, with lyrics that resonate with everyday experiences and aspirations. Their debut album, Live for the Moment (2017), propelled them into the mainstream, featuring fan favourites like the title track and “Chasing Stars,” which became instant indie club staples. Subsequent albums, Under Your Sky (2019), World I Understand (2022), and People Like Me & You (2023), have further solidified their reputation, showcasing their evolution while retaining the raw energy that defines them. Their live shows are legendary for their intensity, proving why they remain a formidable force in British rock.
Arts Club: The Perfect Setting
Nestled in the heart of Liverpool’s vibrant Ropewalks district, the Arts Club at L1 4BH stands as a cornerstone of the city’s thriving music scene. Housed in a building with a rich cultural lineage – formerly the Royal Institute of British Architects – it has been expertly transformed into a modern, multi-room venue without losing its historical charm. The venue perfectly blends contemporary design with a nod to its past, offering a unique backdrop for live performances.
The main room, often referred to as ‘The Loft,’ boasts an impressive capacity of around 500-600 standing, making it large enough to generate an electric atmosphere yet intimate enough to feel connected to the artists on stage. Its excellent sound system and well-designed layout ensure that every riff and vocal nuance from The Sherlocks will be heard with crystal clarity. Beyond ‘The Loft,’ the Arts Club also features ‘The Theatre,’ a smaller space perfect for emerging acts and more intimate gigs, though The Sherlocks will undoubtedly command the main stage. The venue’s central location in Ropewalks means it’s surrounded by an array of bars, restaurants, and cultural hotspots, making it an ideal destination for a full night out. Accessibility is also considered, with ground-floor access and facilities available, though patrons requiring specific assistance are always encouraged to contact the venue in advance to ensure their needs are met.
What to Expect at the Show
When The Sherlocks hit the stage at Arts Club, prepare for an evening of relentless energy and pure rock ‘n’ roll exhilaration. Their live shows are renowned for their raw power and the undeniable connection they forge with their audience. Expect a setlist that masterfully balances their extensive back catalogue with newer material, offering something for every fan. You’re sure to hear anthems like “Live for the Moment,” “Chasing Stars,” and “Will You Be There?”, alongside tracks from their more recent albums such as “Falling” and “People Like Me & You,” each delivered with the band’s signature intensity.
The stage production for a Sherlocks gig is typically stripped-back and authentic, focusing on the sheer musical prowess and the band’s dynamic presence rather than elaborate theatrics. This allows their powerful sound and infectious enthusiasm to take centre stage. The atmosphere will be electric, a communal celebration where singalongs are guaranteed, and the floor is likely to be a vibrant sea of movement. Fans can anticipate mosh pits, crowd surfing, and an overwhelming sense of camaraderie, all fuelled by the band’s high-octane performance. It’s more than just a concert; it’s an immersive experience designed to leave you buzzing long after the final chord fades.
