Inspiral Carpets, Croxton Bandroom, 5th August 2023 by Mary Boukouvalas

The Inspiral Carpets formed in Oldham in the late 80s and by 1990 their stunning debut album Life peaked at #2 on the UK albums chart and produced several Top 20 singles including ‘This Is How It Feels’ and ‘She Comes in the Fall’.

Inspiral Carpets reunited in 2003, playing to sellout crowds on tour and releasing the single ‘Come Back Tomorrow’ (recorded in 1995) and a number of new compilation records, most notably the Cool As box set.

The band went on indefinite hiatus after the sudden death of much-loved band mate, drummer Craig Gill in 2016. Now the Carpets, (who Noel Gallagher once famously roadied for), say the “time is right” to head back on tour to celebrate their music – while paying tribute to Craig Gill.
