Hailing from London, with deep roots in the City of York, Rachel Croft is an “emotive and uncompromising alternative artist at the top of her game” (Atwood Magazine) with a vocal range that flows effortlessly from fierce power to deadly soft.
After relocating almost three years ago, Rachel returns to York for an explosive hometown show, backed with full band.

CUD + Cardboard Radio
