MRG Live & CMW Present: CVC

Doors: 7:00pm Show: 8:00pm

CVC, or Church Village Collective in full, named their band after the sleepy Welsh town they come from and, if they have it their way, will soon bring international renown to their hometown.

The six-piece musical collective are influenced by Snoop Dogg, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Super Furry Animals and Red Hot Chili Peppers and are comprised of singer Francesco Orsi, bassist Ben Thorne, drummer Tom Fry, keyboardist Daniel ‘Nanial’ Jones and singing guitarists David Bassey and Elliot Bradfield. 

It’s worth noting that the latter two, despite never having met them, are related to Welsh royalty Dame Shirley Bassey and Manic Street Preachers’ James Dean Bradfield, respectively. Maybe owing to genetics, Bassey states “I don’t think I’d be able to not do this, I don’t actively choose to, I’m just drawn to it”. But the band are all as equally talented with different skills that aid the cacophony of their sound. Simply put, CVC are a democracy, greater than the sum of its parts, and destined for world domination - perhaps!

CVC’s message is a universal one “peace and love and good times, stay real, stay true and that’s it.”

Their debut album 'Get Real', produced by the band and mixed by Ross Orton (Arctic Monkeys), was released at the start of 2023 to critical acclaim ("A cracking debut album of feelgood, uber-retro gems" - NME, "A remarkably fully formed debut" - The Times), a year in which they will be touring far & wide.

Come join the Collective!
