Join local promoters Tracks at Darlington’s Hopetown museum for the launch gig for Last Train Home Festival. A cosy evening of live music in the historic surrounds of the railway museum.
Featuring headliners, the dreamy soundscapes of Leeds band Sunflower Thieves. Rooted in sisterhood, childhood friends Amy Illingworth and Lily Sturt-Bolshaw found their feet in Leeds to form Sunflower Thieves. Gathering plaudits from BBC Radio 1,
BBC Radio 2, BBC 6 Music, BBC Introducing, Radio X, Clash, The Line Of Best Fit, Atwood Mag & more along the way, they released their debut EP ‘Someone To Be There For’ in 2022 and follow up ‘Same Blood’ EP in 2024.
A self-produced partnership, nurturing a unique sound, SFT take a blueprint of dreamy, rousing soundscapes and inject it with grit and vulnerability. Navigating friendships, the longing for connection, romance, mental health and therapy, it’s a
warm, comforting hug and support network in sonic form. In Sept 2024, Sunflower Thieves played their
debut headline tour with packed-out shows in London and at the legendary Brudenell Social Club in Leeds.
