After their almost four year break from music, Casey reunited with a tour of England and Germany, starting in Bristol on the 12th January.
Casey are a five-piece Welsh Rock band formed in South Wales in 2014. They have released two albums and numerous singles.
Being in The Fleece, a small but lovely venue in Bristol, there was not one space free in the crowd. The venue was packed full of dedicated fans.
Casey opened with their new song “Great Grief” which has meaningful, poetic lyrics and an impressive use of instruments. Straight after was “Atone” of a similar nature. They then followed with their older music which the fans adored. Looking around, the majority of the fans were passionately screaming the lyrics to each song and I could see how much this meant to some of them. Throughout the night the music was very loud and clear making it a memorable experience.
Towards the end of the set, lead singer Tom Weaver asked the crowd where they had travelled from and one group were attending from Australia! This is a huge dedication to be able to see this highly motivating band that clearly have a reassuring impact on lives.
Upon announcement of reuniting, Casey tickets sold out within just five days. In result of the demand, there was a venue upgrade and two extra nights added. From seeing the gig and following on social media, it is evident that the band are incredibly grateful for the support they have from their community. It is exciting to envisage what the band has for the future and it was an honour seeing them perform.
