Deaf Havana - Witham Spring Lodge

Norfolk boys Deaf Havana put on an energetic show despite mic difficulties and end the night with a stage invasion frenzy.

Deaf Havana play a fair share of songs from their new album including: Waves, This Town Is Ours, Nicotine And Alcohol Saved My Life, You Are Beautiful and 3 Cheers For The Easy Life.
As well as old favourites Oh Howard You Crack Me Up and Love By The Riverside from their EP. The band finish with the anthem-like Friends Like These, an obvious crowd favourite that receives the biggest sing-along of the night. The crowd chant along to the repeated lyrics “you’ll never know friends like these” and also get involved in a stage invasion.
The band shows a lot of energy during the set, especially from vocalist Ryan Mellor, who never stays in the same spot for long. The crowd are just as lively, with brave member’s crowd surfing and stage diving.
During their set, the band announce that they will be shooting a video for the upcoming single Nicotine And Alcohol Saved My Life.
After the show I caught up with Deaf Havana’s drummer – Tom Ogden who said the show was “fun, I thought we played alright just couldn’t really hear anything. I love it when everyone gets up on stage because all the kids get involved but I’d love it more if people didn’t trash my drum kit!!”.
Deaf Havana are set to play a headline tour in March. You can expect big things from these five boys.
