Acoustic duo The Cherry Valentines play pop, rock and soul covers on guitar and flute at The Mermaid.
The Cherry Valentines are back at The Mermaid on Sunday 15 November, their return to the Hatfield Road pub after a previous run of dates there. They're an acoustic duo, and the set is built around covers of pop, rock and soul songs.
What sets them apart from your usual pub act is the instrumentation. They play on guitar and flute, and they describe their sound as being held together by close harmonies. It's a combination you don't come across every day in a local gig — the flute adds a melodic line that sits over the guitar and the two voices working in tandem.
The Mermaid is a pub on Hatfield Road in St Albans, and it's a regular spot for live music, which it runs alongside pub quizzes and themed nights. The Cherry Valentines fit right into that mix, playing a broad selection of covers that pull from pop, rock and soul, so the set should have a bit of everything in it.
