This looks great. What a nice idea. Should be a special night.

We are delighted to announce that Champs will headline the inaugural Brunel Sessions on Friday 18th September.

Hailing from the Isle Of Wight, CHAMPS features brothers Michael and David Champion. In 2014, they released their atmospheric '60s-influenced debut, Down Like Gold. A year later, they returned with the Dimitri Tikovoi-produced, Vamala.

CHAMPS are spellbinding performers and we can’t wait for them to send shivers through us at the first ever Brunel Sessions.

Tickets are £12 in advance, and can be purchased here:
