About Me

DON’T BELIEVE THE HYPE
(come see it for yourself)

The Vigours live shows have gained a great deal of attention over the past 18 months. Starting out in their native North London at The Archway Tavern, they’ve bossed the London circuit, headlining at Barfly, Dublin Castle ands 93 Ft East and have been further afield than your average unsigned band - with gigs across the UK provinces and a tour of South Korea, culminating in a barn-storming set at the Juncheon JIMFF Festival in Korea last summer.

The quality of their live shows is the foundation of their critical acclaim, they were the first ever unsigned band to appear on The Word Magazine covermount and seem to have the support of Channel 4 Music via Hollyoaks and having their music used as the soundbed for an award winning series of docu-dramas on More 4 .
