The Long Fuses are a Midlands / Shropshire-based band led by singer-songwriter Nigel Brookes (vocals/guitar), joined by Graham Quirk (guitar), John Large (drums), and Scott Edge (bass).
Blending thoughtful lyrics with jangly guitars and soulful pop melodies, their sound draws from influences like The Kinks, The Byrds, Squeeze, Wilco, Curtis Mayfield, and Scott Walker.

Every Thread are an acoustic duo from Birmingham UK who, in the words of Left For Dead Records, ‘weave gorgeous melodies into lovely little nuggets of folky pop’.  They create a stripped-back, intimate sound with guitar, bass and female vocals.  Comparisons have been drawn to Everything But The Girl, Belle & Sebastian and Curved Air.  Self-produced debut album ‘Leaves’ reflects aspects of the live sound, alongside more expansive arrangements that transform live favourites into something new.

End Of The World

Over the last few years, many small music venues up and down the country have closed, due to commercial pressures and lack of people willing to promote original new music. Pale Fire Music are not for profit music promoters, and our aim is to make The Firefly in Telford, Shropshire a vital venue to hear new and original music.
