The Zangwills Tickets

The Zangwills met at 6^th form college in Cheshire and have released music steadily since. Each member brings very different influences to the band and that, along with Jake Vickers’ instantly recognisable voice, is reflected in their distinctive sound.

A charismatic band with a reputation for incredibly strong live performances, they have built a passionate following who are prepared to travel in significant numbers to see them play with dates often selling out in advance, including Manchester Academy and The Grace in London.

Their song Judas on the Dancefloor is about the issues surrounding groping, spiking and harassment on nights out. The video for it was produced by Maisie Williams (Game of Thrones) and BAFTA-winning young Director Lowri Roberts. It went on to win the award for Best International Music Video at Focus Wales Film Festival 2022.

Northwest-based, with members from Chester, Warrington and Manchester, the band’s last single Walking on a Wire was produced by Gordon Raphael (The Strokes) They are currently working on a debut album.
