First up were Flowe from Loughborough. Lead singer Paul Saunders' swooping vocals over a melodic background of jangling guitar gave the band a late 80s indie sound. By the time Grail and Goal (In The Snow) had descended into some primal-sounding harmonies and drumming, the band had won over the punters. Future gigs announced humbly whilst reading from a scrumpled piece of paper will surely be attended by a growing number of followers. Their songs showed a real craft and a rare quality. – Ben Smith for Leeds Music Scene

Flowe then hit the stage with more than enough confidence and pizzazz, they are very much a unit, possessing their own identity and sound. Boasting a banner of Her Royal Highness stating “Make Electro History”, they grabbed the crowds’ attention with their cocky take on a performance. As I listen along with the rest of the rabble hints of very early Kings of Leon spring to mind, with some unusual Celtic influences thrown in here and there for good measure. Flowe are a cheeky alternative / indie-folk talent. I couldn’t help but watch the drummer work out combinations with ease, and the rest of my time was spent watching the front man swagger and swoon, his voice brimming with an eclectic 80’s cult band sound and feel. Pint after point was consumed as the night went on, plent more cupcakes were nibbled and through song after song Flowe persistently impressed. This quartet from a little south of Leeds are definitely ones to watch. – Jessica Barlow for No-Title

Flowe draw the short alphabetical straw and are first on this evening. Crowds are quite sparse, but then this simply means many missed out on a juicy musical secret. Flowe seem to gambol through their set, perhaps accentuated by their dewy-eyed enthusiasm, but there is still a lot of power and a solid base behind their sprightly ditties. The impish, child-like inflection of the vocals easily misleads but delving just under the surface, often something more mature is going on. Delicate hooks are supported by some appealing chord progressions, with surprisingly little exploitation of folk-like primary chords for a band dubbing themselves 'folk 'n' roll', as well as some subtle, dynamic drum parts. Then, of course, the addition of the fiddle to the instrumentation also guarantees a certain amount of idiosyncrasy. It all gels remarkably nicely and makes for a winning set. - Kate Zezulka for Leeds Music Scene
