The Last Spectacular are playing an acoustic set in July at The Polite Room event in the Tyneside Cinema. More details to follow.

The Last Spectacular's recent gig at the Head of Steam has been reviewed in this month's NARC magazine:

... it is a fresh and authentic sound that has earned Paul Worthington’s songwriting skills on the band’s eponymous debut album high praise. Live, they were relaxed and tight, and had an enthusiastic crowd dancing under Newcastle’s Neville Street with songs like The Streets of Pensacola and silent to the point of reverence with Cartertown. With their checked shirts and quiet confidence they feel like a band going places. NARC 03/12

The Last Spectacular's album has been reviewed on the Abacus Post music website:

"...we had heard good things about this band, and having sampled the album we can confirm it’s all true...The album is a soothing blend of delicate acoustic tracks such as the mesmerising ‘Cartertown’ – and nostalgic Americana themed tunes like ‘No Resistance’. The stand out track has to be ‘The Beacon’ – which is perfectly produced and sounds like a fitting soundtrack to any half decent Western film. Paul Worthingtons’ vocals are beautifully backed by rich harmonies and a well balanced guitar/banjo section..." Abacus Post 01/12

The Last Spectacular's album has been reviewed in January's 'The Crack' magazine:

"...their debut album is definitely worthy of investigation. They’ve got a Fleet Foxes, Appalachian vibe, and, more importantly, plenty of finger-picking melodies to get those toes-a-tapping. We also get dollops of traditional country music, and some rockin’ of a decidedly good-time nature, with plenty of sweet harmonising to give it all some body." The Crack 01/12.

The Last Spectacular are playing alongside local acts Nev Clay and Morris Ford at the Head of Steam in Newcastle.
