photojournal: Wings Of Desire + Tom Smith @ The Long Table

Photography by Tom Percival

On Friday the 5th July local band Wings Of Desire organised a very special event for their Stroud debut, bringing along none other than fellow Stroud District dwellers Tom Smith from the Editors for a rare solo acoustic performance and BBC Radio 6 Music presenter Tom Ravenscroft for a DJ set to the Long Table.

Wings of Desire played tracks from their forthcoming new EP Shut Up & Listen ,the proceeds of which will be going to the radical social enterprise and Pay What You Can food hub which serves over 40,000 meals to the community every year.

GOP photographer Tom Percival headed along the tow path to Brimscombe to capture the amazing night, in an amazing venue for our photojournal series…

Shut Up & Listen EP by Wings of Desire will be released on the 30th August, listen to a couple of the tracks on their bandcamp page here and read their interview with Tom Berry from Sound Records in July issue here For forthcoming events and to find out more about the Long Table click here
