Born off the back off This Feeling club nights and festival stages, This Feeling – Alive tour, sees headliners Bang Bang Romeo, The Shimmer Band and Blackwaters head out around the UK, supported by more of the best new bands around, to celebrate indie music in 2017 and the power of new bands.
Ahead of the tour, we’re catching up with all the bands involved to find out what makes them tick. Today, Leeds’ The Strawberries answer our questions…

The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney
