Essential: APRE are indie duo Jules & Charlie from Canterbury who have been supported by Introducing in Kent. The band have exploded onto the scene with debut single ‘All Yours’, but they actually met at Ealing Chess Club of all places, and the owner used to let them to use the back-room to rehearse and record music! So far, APRE have released this track and an EP on their own label 'Beach 91’ which was aptly named after a sign on the Chess Club's Garden shed. This summer you can catch them at Barn On The Farm in Gloucester and Leefest, plus there's another EP on the way too. We can't wait!
