The Wave Pictures

“Their appeal is not hard to understand. They play charming, witty pop songs” – The Guardian
“There’s a reason the trio inspire devotion from the press and fans alike.” – DIY Mag

It’s over twenty years since The Wave Pictures formed in Wymeswold, Leicestershire as teenagers. The trio of Jonny Helm (drums), Dave Tattersall (guitar & vocals) and Franic Rozycki (bass) have gone on to be one of the UK’s most prolific and beloved bands. Fond of classic rock, jazz and blues, they are also one of the most accomplished, with Tattersall’s guitar solos becoming the stuff of legend. They have collaborated with varying bright stars of the musical firmament, from their ongoing partnership with ex-Herman Dune member Stanley Brinks, or the very close partnership with Billy Childish for 2015’s ‘Great Big Flamingo Burning Moon’.  

The band have released 11 albums and played some of the most treasured festival stages around, including Primavera Sound, Green Man and End of the Road.
