singer songwriter front-man Chris Taylor-
Ashcroft, who, with the help of other musicians,
brings the music to the stage in the form of a full
live band. On the gig circuit Sleuth has racked
up an impressive reputation thanks to good
receptions
from
many
unannounced
appearances at open-mic style events.
Sleuth show highlights include supporting
Bluetones singer Mark Morriss and performing
at the Northern Sky Festival with

John Bramwell.
2017 is looking to be a promising year for Sleuth
with plenty of live shows to look forward to

be played on BBC6 music and Radio WM. The
band is the creative outlet and brainchild of
