Music fans were in for a treat when indie hitmakers Cast played an intimate gig at a Bury record shop.
The Britpop band, which formed in Liverpool in 1992, paid a visit to Wax and Beans on Market Street on Thursday, 22 February to promote new album, Love is the Call.
They are best known for album All Change, which became the highest-selling debut album on their record label, Polydor.
At the sold-out gig on Thursday evening, the band played two sets during which they played a selection of older hits and new songs and also took the time to meet and greet with fans.
Ben Soothill, co-Owner of Wax and Beans, said: "Cast delivered two shows last Thursday at Wax and Beans to support the release of their new album, Love is the Call.
“The sets consisted of five new songs plus 'Alright', which is considered one of their many classics.
“Following the shows, fans were treated to a meet and greet where they were able to get their CDs and records signed.
“John Power talked about this album being their best work, and that the band have never sounded as good as they do now when playing live.
“In total, we sold over 200 copies of the album.”
The independent record shop in Bury town centre often plays host to bands and musicians, hosting live events and gigs in-store.
Last month, Happy Monday’s star Shaun Ryder visited the store with Black Grape bandmate Paul Leveridge, aka the rapper Kermit for an album signing and meet and greet.
In April last year, 90s icons Inspiral Carpets came to visit, for an album signing prompting music fans to queue around the street.
Next weekend, they'll play host to rock three-piece Sandra's Wedding. In April, Scottish rock band GUN will perform a stripped back show with a signing.
