The band, first featured on BBC Introducing, have supported Lewis Capaldi, Yungblud and Bastille
Following Monday's gig, the band have travelled to Europe for signings and shows in Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium

The band that sold out a major venue by offering £1 tickets have said they will "never ever forget" the concert attended by about 5,000 fans.

Only the Poets, from Reading in Berkshire and Banbury in Oxfordshire, charged the same fee for Monday's gig at the O2 Brixton Academy as they did for their first gig.

The four-piece's debut album And I'd Do It Again was released last week and the band were supported by two acts picked from 1,000 who entered a competition.

The band said they had "dreamed about" playing the "incredible" Brixton Academy "since we first picked up guitars".
