The Western Heights

Saturday 8th November we welcome @thewesternheights2025 – After scoring a Single Of The Week in NME, songwriter Toby Oakes continues to rack up a long list of tunes; storytelling strung across melodic, country inflected pop / rock. Observational, self critical, and perhaps a bit world weary, Toby delivers with a wink and a dry smile. Oakes (Guitar & vocal) has assembled his band with Kevin Richards (Bass) and Dave Robinson (Drums). Come and catch them for free at The Blind Pig!
