Black Tree Vultures

Anyone who has ever witnessed a performance by Black Tree Vultures since their inception, will wax lyrical about their high octane performance, the intensity and sheer quality of their songs and the sonic soundscapes and all of this is of course true, but it only tells a little bit of their story. The reason why they have made so many fans in what is a relatively short space of time in music terms, they were formed in late 2017, is down to hard work as they have played in excess of 400 gigs allied to their sheer dogged determination, attention to detail and their willingness to commit everything they have in them in order to fulfil what for them is a non-negotiable, that they will only ever give 100% effort to anything that they do under the B.T.V banner.

Having released three critically acclaimed E.P’s and having worked with well-known producers Romesh Dodangoda and Will Maya on the last two, the guys also received lots of airplay on radio shows all over the World and also having recently signed to ‘The Forge Music Group’ it’s safe to say that the future was looking very bright for the lads and it therefore came as a shock to many when original vocalist Celyn and bassist Ched decided to leave the band in February 2021 in order to pursue other opportunities.

The two remaining original members namely drummer Jonno Smyth and guitarist Aaron Hammersley decided to carry on with the project they themselves had begun back in 2017 and they lost no time in finding and enlisting two new members to the band, namely Tom Jobling on vocals and Jake Waters on bass. The signs are already highly encouraging as the two new guys have very quickly slotted in to the BTV ‘machine’ and they are already writing lots of exciting new music which they hope to record by the end of the Summer 2021 and release it later in the year.

With some exciting gigs already in the pipeline for the rest of 2021 and with the plans already in place to really push things to the next level in 2022, it is a very exciting time for Black Tree Vultures. Watch this space
