Hey folks, we’re not active on X right now. You can still catch our updates, live clips, and strange little stories over on Facebook & Instagram @braverthanfiction. Stay loud, stay kind, eat the cake. 🖤

“Has anyone seen Murray?” 🧵1/2 Following our band tradition of finding lost souls, Friday night delivered. ‘Matt from Rotherham’ misplaced his pal Murray between sunny Leeds (cricket) and the darkest wilds of Sheffield (West Street at midnight).

“Has anyone seen Murray?” 🧵2/2 We heard an epic tale of sporting (mis)adventure, mini-bus mayhem & possibly some beer. As our hero trundled off into the early-morning haze, towards the bright lights of civilisation once more, we wondered if we would ever hear from him again…

Friday night, we’ll be at one of our favourite venues, @WestStreetLive. See you down there! #Sheffield #LiveMusic #SheffieldIsSuper

Heading across to @BarnsleyLive_ today; we’re on at 16:30PM over at @CheCoCoBarnsley but before and after that, there are a lot of other juicy, musical morsels to savour! Spoiled for choice, really… #BarnsleyLive #BarnsleyIsBrill #MusicFestival
