This Saturday 4th February, from 8:30pm, Free: A night of live music showcasing some new talent and some hidden treasures!

The sound of Caution Elephant is at times heavy and dark, at times light and playful. The band was formed by bassist Marley Butler and guitarist Emma Reading whose bass and guitar provide the strong, urgent driving force of the tracks. Then came drummer Cedric Monzali’s atmospheric, primal drums with Eleanor Williams’s (Electric Swing Circus) haunting and fragile vocals and fairytale-esque lyrics. The result is experimental but catchy songs equal in style and substance.
