The Lathums - Live At Blackpool Tower

Pity all the ‘Ones To Watch For 2020′. In 2019 they would have built up a solid foundation of fans and critics, with everything in place for a sustained attack on the first year of the new decade.

Tours, festivals, new music would all have been locked in the diary, as well as all the other elements of a promotional campaign. But fears were raised early on in the lockdown that for anyone beneath the tier of Academy level (namely playing venues of 500 upwards), it was to be instead an uncertain future.

The Lathums fall into this criteria, although not by much, such is the momentum they have. This is speculation, but it’s not hard to envision the four-piece from Wigan as favourites during the festival season, and hype around their new Ghost EP would have been formidable. Not that they are doing badly; this livestream performance was watched by over 2000 people, and many more will catch it at a later date.
