‘I’m the world’s biggest paving slab and the world’s smallest celebrity.’

English Teacher join us at The Great Escape Festival in Brighton to perform 'The World's Biggest Paving Slab'.

Formed in Leeds in 2020, this indie four-piece have gained recognition for their catchy melodies, playful lyrics and deadpan delivery. ‘The World’s Biggest Paving Slab’ references the local history of a Lancashire town and explores the theme of self-worth, with the twist of having been written from the point of view of the paving slab.

‘Tight, rhythmic, funk-flecked art rock … generally bringing a fresh and vibrant take on classic indie.’ The Times, Best Music Acts of 2023
