CVC

CVC, or Church Village Collective in full, are named after the sleepy Welsh town they come from, who are a democracy greater than the sum of its parts & destined for world domination!

Their ‘Welsh Music Prize’ Nominated debut album 'Get Real', produced by the band & mixed by Ross Orton (Arctic Monkeys), was released in ‘23 to critical acclaim ("A cracking debut album of feelgood, uber-retro gems" - NME) & followed by tours that have wowed crowds across the world ("The band’s superb live shows are a thing of wonder" - Clash Magazine).

Work on Album 2 with Producer Chris Hughes (Tears For Fears’ ‘Songs From The Big Chair’) is now nearing completion, so there’s never been a better time to…
