Slaves to play Assembly Halls Theatre, Tunbridge Wells

Two-piece punk outfit Slaves will return to Kent to play a special gig later this year.

After breaking through in the past 2 years, the duo have performed to some of the biggest crowds on the circuit.

The pair, made up of Isaac Holman, from Tunbridge Wells, and Laurie Vincent, from Maidstone, have announced they will play a special, more intimate show in Tunbridge Wells.

Former Hugh Christie Technology pupil, Isaac, 23, and Laurie, 22, who attended Oakwood Park Grammar School, say they’re excited to play the Assembly Halls Theatre – and are always drawn back to their roots.

Singer Isaac said: “We’re really excited, it’s always nice to come back home and play to crowds here. Every show is special, we’ve played massive stages and we’ve played basement shows that mean just as much to us.”

After gaining recognition through BBC Introducing and support from Radio One, the release of their debut album ‘Are You Satisfied?’ saw Slaves’ name appear on the bills of some of the biggest festivals in the UK, including Glastonbury and Reading and Leeds.

Speaking to the KM, the singer said: “Playing Glasto was the pinnacle of our career, obviously, it felt like a very special moment, but we haven’t got ahead of ourselves.

“We never expected to get to where we are, so we’re taking every day as it comes. We just wanted to have some fun and spread the message ‘if you aren’t happy with something in your life, change it’.”

Tickets for Slaves at the Assembly Halls Theatre, Tunbridge Wells, went on general sale last week for the show on Friday, December 18 - doors open at 7pm.
