If it's 'Made in Sheffield', it gets played in Sheffield. This venue is synonymous with music industry in the steel city, and wears it's heart on it's sleeve. Supporting (and supported by) a number of musicians, The Frog & Parrot is an institution. Joe Cocker was discovered here. The playlist is eclectic, the crowd are switched on, the sound engineer is a 'God-like Genius' (quote Freeq magazine). In short - 'this is our Cavern, right here, right now'. (quote Carlton)

[ENG] Telesplash are a young band from Arezzo, now making their debut with the EP Forever Together. They are funny ed ironic, with a fine taste for catchy melodies and parties until sunrise, bearing in mind freshness and pure show. Passionate about Beatles and Beach Boys, we like them very much: we present their EP full of lightearthed and sparkling moods, made of outstanding melodies. A brief tip for women: please bring back the boys after extensive use..Have fun!
[ITA] Giovani, carini, e probabilmente molto occupati, nel prossimo futuro. I Telesplash, giovane formazione di Arezzo, esordiscono in FOREARS con l'EP Forever Together. Divertenti ed ironici, con un bel gusto per melodie retrò e feste fino all'alba, all'insegna dello spettacolo e della freschezza. Beatles e Beach Boys nel cuore, a noi sono piaciuti subito: vi presentiamo un bel debutto fatto di atmosfere leggere, spensierate e frizzanti, con brani sinceramente invidiabili. Raccomandiamo al gentil sesso di restituirli dopo il concerto, anche se un po' più stanchi..buon divertimento!
