The Pockets

About Me

MyGen Profile Generator

THE POCKETS take inspiration from anything and anyone.With all members keen song writers and experienced performers, they are merely interested in where their songs can take them, whilst weaving a mixture of light and darkness into the structures and fabric of their music .They currently reside in a traditional ex-car manufacturing town in the basement of an old ex-car manufacturing factory working mens club called the Standard Triumph in Coventry, where they strum and beat; sing and shout and journey away most evenings, preparing themselves for frequent returns to their natural habitat, known commonly as the stage.



This is the JOURNEY OF THE POCKETS
