About
caroline play New Century, Manchester, on Sunday 21 February 2027 at 19:00. The eight-piece band's songs draw on choral singing, Midwestern emo and Appalachian folk.
What to expect
caroline’s founding members Casper Hughes, Jasper Llewellyn and Mike O’Malley started playing together in 2017.
Llewellyn and Hughes met at university in Manchester, then invited Llewellyn’s old friend Mike O’Malley to form a group in London.
They rehearsed in an upstairs room of a South London pub and kept playing what became the hypnotic riff of album opener ‘Dark blue’.
As the sound expanded, the line-up grew to an eight-piece: Oliver Hamilton on violin, Freddy Wordsworth on trumpet and bass, Magdalena McLean on violin, Hugh Aynsley on percussion, and Alex McKenzie on flute, clarinet and saxophone.
By late 2019 their songs were expansive and emotive, drawing on choral singing, Midwestern emo and Appalachian folk.
- O’Malley suggested ‘swoony violin’ for ‘Dark blue’.
- Hamilton also had an early bass stint.
