2/2 Lauren Mayberry of Glaswegian band Chvrches has embarked on her first solo tour and has a solo album in the pipeline. On Friday 6th October 2023 the tour reached Birmingham's 02 Academy 2 venue. The highlights here include an impressive cover of Madonna's "Like A Prayer" and Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" as well as her own new original material. (Yes it's true, the much-missed Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac grew up in neighbouring Smethwick and attended Moseley School of Art).
