impress representatives from the record industry at a concert in London.
They are one of five unsigned bands

VALLEY PLAYING IN BROADGATE, COVENTRY
The band were recommended to play in London

the promoters with their demo CD.
ValleY are no strangers to the 'big gig',
having played support slot to NME favourites China Drum.
Alan (21), Dan (20) and Tim (21) formed
ValleY in 1995 whilst studying at Bablake School, Coventry. After playing at most of the
local venues, the bands now strives to reach a wider audience by proving their ability to
perform live.
Local fanzine, 'Standing Room Only',
described Valley's sound as "power pop at its sweetest, awash with clever bass lines,
catchy melodies and angelic harmonies". The same review also said "I can't
understand how this band haven't got a deal yet".
The band hopes this industry night in
London will be the breakthrough they need.

anyone wanting to travel to the concert at Cairo Jack's on 1 April - cost £5.
