FRIDAY 22 TO SUNDAY 24 AUGUST 2014 AT DUNCOMBE PARK, HELMSLEY, NORTH YORKSHIRE
Dream of Apollo
In the three years that have passed since they were last spotted on the muddy main stage at Galtres, Dream of Apollo have quite simply not stopped. Work on a debut album had been constant and following a successful pledge-music campaign in which donations were received from all angles of the globe, ‘Alpha’ was released in April 2013 to much praise. A highly successful third tour of the UK followed in the autumn, as did the welcoming of two new members, Sarah and Caspar to the group. The year ended with the release of a video-series of acoustically performed tracks from ‘Alpha.’
With such diverse influences, It’s never been easy to define the sound of Dream of Apollo, nevertheless it’s one that has created an ever-growing army of admirers. It’s fair to say Dream of Apollo have outgrown the tag once given to them as ‘York’s best musical secret’ and can now consider them to be one of York’s ‘must-hear’ bands.
