Supporting Childcare on their current ‘Luckyucker’ tour, Nottingham’s own Ava Saint opened up for them in the city’s Rescue Rooms (Red Rooms) last week.

Vancouver artist Kieran Mercer has been working with producers Stephen “Koz” Kozmeniuk (Dua Lipa) and Michael Wise which has resulted in a 4-track EP called ‘Fools Gold.’ Mercer proudly acknowledges his musical influences throughout the EP, but also adds a modern, fresh take to these sounds.
