TV PINS + DAN SEALEY

Stratford Sound Pathways presents  TV PINS + DAN SEALEY  Some shows are about bringing the world to Stratford. This one is about celebrating what Stratford already has.  TV Pins are a five-piece with deep roots right here in Stratford itself. Their sound draws on West Coast Americana, British new wave and 60s psychedelia, wrapped in big harmonies and keyboard grooves that one reviewer described as feeling like "a greatest hits album the first time of hearing." Louder Than War put it well: "a heart and a swagger that is all its own."  Dan Sealey is a Stratford music story in his own right. Former bassist with Ocean Colour Scene, co-founder of Merrymouth alongside Simon Fowler, and now a solo artist of real depth and craft. His debut album Beware of Darkness, released in 2025 after years in the making, is the work of a songwriter fully in his stride. Hot Music Live called it "a true folk record in the sense it's about real people and for real people", adding that "the songs are all timeless: they can only grow with you gracefully."  On 27 June they share the Rother Street Arts House stage. Quality, craft and local roots. A night for Stratford to be proud of.  Stratford Sound Pathways (SSP) is a year-long programme of original, grassroots live music to Stratford-upon-Avon. Supported by Arts Council England and curated in partnership with Chalkpit Cassette Club, SSP is about building genuine routes into contemporary music for artists and audiences alike.  SSP is more than a gig programme. If you're an artist who wants to play, a photographer, writer, designer, or someone who just wants to be part of building something new for live music in this town, we want to hear from you.
