About The Sherlocks
Hailing from Bolton-upon-Dearne, near Sheffield, The Sherlocks have carved out a formidable reputation as one of the most hardworking and electrifying bands on the British indie scene. Formed in 2010, the band consists of two sets of brothers: Kiaran Crook (vocals, rhythm guitar) and Brandon Crook (drums), alongside Josh Davidson (lead guitar) and Andy Davidson (bass). Their unique dynamic, born from years of playing together, translates into a cohesive and powerful live sound that’s both raw and incredibly polished.
From their early days playing in local pubs, The Sherlocks quickly gained traction thanks to their relentless touring schedule and a knack for writing catchy, singalong anthems. Their style is deeply rooted in classic British rock and alternative rock, drawing comparisons to the likes of Arctic Monkeys, Stereophonics, and Oasis, yet possessing a distinct identity all their own. Their debut album, Live for the Moment (2017), shot into the UK Top 10, propelled by fan favourites such as the title track, “Will You Be There?”, and “Chasing Shadows.” This success solidified their place as a major new force in British music. Subsequent albums like World I Understand (2021) and People Like Me & You (2023) have seen them continue to evolve, refining their sound while maintaining the infectious energy and honest lyricism that defines them. Their music often explores themes of everyday life, ambition, and youthful exuberance, resonating deeply with a dedicated fanbase that continues to grow with every release.
Wedgewood Rooms: The Perfect Setting
Nestled in the heart of Southsea on Albert Road, the Wedgewood Rooms, affectionately known as “The Wedge,” stands as a true institution of the Portsmouth music scene. For decades, this independent venue has been a cornerstone for live music, hosting an incredible array of artists from emerging local talent to internationally renowned acts. Its location in the vibrant cultural hub of Southsea means it’s surrounded by bustling pubs, eclectic shops, and fantastic eateries, making it an ideal destination for a night out.
The venue itself boasts an intimate capacity of around 400 standing, creating an atmosphere that’s both electrifying and deeply personal. Unlike larger, soulless arenas, The Wedge allows for an unparalleled connection between artist and audience. The low ceilings, well-worn stage, and fantastic sound system contribute to a raw, authentic gig experience that many bigger venues simply can’t replicate. Over the years, its hallowed stage has seen countless memorable performances, cementing its status as a beloved landmark for music lovers across the south coast. The character of the Wedgewood Rooms is palpable the moment you step inside; it’s a place where sweat, passion, and musical history seep from the walls. For accessibility, the venue is largely on one level, though it’s always advisable to contact them directly for specific requirements to ensure your visit is as comfortable as possible. This storied venue is truly the perfect backdrop for The Sherlocks’ high-octane performance.
What to Expect at the Show
When The Sherlocks hit the stage at Wedgewood Rooms, prepare for an explosion of sound and energy. Known for their incredibly tight and dynamic live performances, the band brings an infectious enthusiasm that quickly spreads through the crowd. Expect a setlist that masterfully blends tracks from their latest album, People Like Me & You, with beloved anthems from their earlier releases. Fan favourites like “Live for the Moment,” “Will You Be There?”, “City Lights,” and “Visions” are highly likely to ignite mass singalongs and energetic mosh pits.
The stage production will likely be stripped back, focusing on the raw power of the band’s performance rather than elaborate visuals. This allows The Sherlocks’ undeniable stage presence and musical prowess to take centre stage. Kiaran Crook’s passionate vocals, combined with Josh Davidson’s searing guitar riffs and the powerhouse rhythm section of Brandon and Andy, create a wall of sound that is both exhilarating and deeply satisfying. The atmosphere within The Wedge will be electric, a communal celebration of rock and roll. Anticipate a sea of bouncing bodies, hands in the air, and voices roaring back every lyric. It’s not just a concert; it’s an immersive experience that encapsulates the very best of British indie rock.
