Brighton Pride will be welcoming one of the most iconic 90’s female fronted rock bands to the brand new Q Live Music Stage this August.
Prepare for a set of gritty electronica as Republica aka. Saffron Sprackling, Tim Dorney, Johnny Male and Conor Lawrence perform their global chart smashers Ready To Go, From Rush Hour With Love and Drop Dead Gorgeous alongside tracks from their critically acclaimed 2013 EP Christiana Obey.
Front woman Saffron, said: “I’m so excited to play Brighton Pride this year as the gay and lesbian community have always been such great supporters of our music. I’m proud to say one of our songs Drop Dead Gorgeous has been described as a gay anthem with many gay couples telling me over the years it means a lot to them. Pride is a brilliant celebration for everybody to be proud of who they are, their sexuality and beliefs. We have loved headlining at Summer Rites and G.A.Y. in London so to be playing Brighton Pride in my hometown feels like coming home”.
As well as selling millions of albums worldwide Saffron has been in demand as a vocalist, collaborating with The Prodigy, The Cure, Junkie Xl, Gary Numan, Jeff Beck, Jah Wobble, N-Joi, Mark Moore, St Etienne and The Shamen.
A festival favourite throughout Europe with performances at Isle Of Wight Festival, Norway’s Midnattsrocken Festival, The Welsh GB Rally and Hanover’s Ferryman Festival in Germany under their belt in 2013, Saffron and Republica guarantees an explosion of glorious sound at Brighton Pride Festival this August.
