Pop\/rock band Lawson is coming to Leicester<\/h1>\n

London pop\/rock band Lawson<\/strong> is coming to the DeMontfort Hall in Leicester on 2nd October 2013.<\/p>\n

Not the first time the band has played in Leicester but this will be one of the stops in the band’s current UK tour.<\/p>\n

We asked Lawson’s Joel Peat to tell us about the band.<\/p>\n

The members of the band are<\/p>\n

Andy Brown
\nRyan Fletcher
\nJoel Peat
\nAdam pitts<\/p>\n

Joel told us that\u00a0Lawson are to release a new single called Juliet<\/em> on 13th October<\/p>\n

\"Lawson<\/a>
Lawson Juliet Remixes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lawson has been getting out there for over six years and in that time they have supported bands such as The Police and Fall Out Boy and have played at Wembley stadium to a crowd of 80 thousand.<\/p>\n

At this year’s V festival they were on the \u00a04Music stage. Joel told us “it was cool. Good fun. We played to a lot of new people who had not seen us before and won\u00a0them over.”<\/p>\n

Joel told me that Andy Brown was the song-writer for the band.\u00a0Having checked some of their songs, I really liked\u00a0Lawson’s music.\u00a0My favourite is Standing In the Dark<\/em> which is on YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I asked Joel which other UK bands Lawson liked: he said “The Script and Paighton, among others.”\u00a0Lawson is setting out on its Every We Go<\/em> tour which starts on 30th September, in Doncaster.<\/p>\n

From there they go to Bristol\u00a0and then arrive in Leicester, on 2nd October.\u00a0Supporting Lawson at the DeMontfort Hall will be Midlands band Paighton, Hertfordshire pop\/rock band Room 94 and Swedish\u00a0singer Andreas Moe.\u00a0I asked Joel about the Leicester gig: he said “We are really looking forward to it. I remember we played at the Musician\u00a0in Leicester back in 2009, so hopefully some people will remember us from then. Yeah, we are really excited about.”<\/p>\n
