Get to know the bands that'll be performing in Newbridge Future Rocks Heats 2

SYNDICATE😎

"In early 2023 from the Caerphilly area within the valleys of South Wales, ‘SYNDICATE’ was born. Syndicate is a band of many colours when it comes to the style and the subject of the music that they create. From whispering ballads about those who lost their lives for our freedom in ‘Cenotaph’ - to absolute drivers about coming to the end of your tether as seen on the track ‘Sick of It’. Syndicate’s main inspirations include the likes of LINKIN PARK and SHINEDOWN but they also allow their own distinctive sound to shine through in each track that they create."

See them perform on 14th Feb alongside Set the Tone, Idlechord and Sleazy Money tickets available to book via our website - https://www.newbridgememo.co.uk/events/newbridge-future-rock-heats-2

We were in the rather grand surroundings of the ballroom at Newbridge Memorial Hall today, but it almost didn't happen when the power outage in at lunchtime trapped the bouncy castle in the lift. 🫣 Not to worry, though, as the amazing staff at the Memo were absolutely on top of it and got the lift up and running in no time. 😅🎉 They also took the time to listen to the safety talk with the customer to make sure they'd know what to do if the power went off again, but thankfully it didn't and all of today's little superheroes had a great time. 🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️
