Clamlines may well hold the unofficial record of ‘sweatiest event at the fringe 2016–2023’, mainly because the quality of the acts they book far outsizes the modest capacity of their venue. Kicking things off on Thursday, Faint Paint are Sheffield’s newest purveyors of moody, cinematic doo wop. Friday’s mega lineup includes The Tubs, who have been touring the world, taking audiences to jangle pop heaven and back. Australian post-punk supremos Delivery will close the party on Saturday before the night unravels into a blur of karaoke, DJs and lageritas.
