Life At The Pines

Life at the Pines
Sun 26th -- 12.00pm, 4.00pm

Life At The Pines come from Tenby but are currently scattered around different parts of the UK. Their take on music is that it should be fun. This isn’t to say they don’t like practicing or writing the odd sombre song now and then but they believe there’s too many bands that take themselves and their music too seriously. The world doesn't need any more!
