Codeine combination

REMEMBER The Fratellis and their impossibly catchy hit “Chelsea Dagger”?
Well lead singer Jon Lawler has joined up with glamorous Glaswegian chanteuse and singer-songwriter Lou Hickey to form Codeine Velvet Club.
Apparently they bonded over a love of 60s girl-boy duets, dramatic orchestral pop, and dark post-war Hollywood and Las Vegas romanticism.
So expect sweet retro melodies with a twist of funky pop when the pair descend on Manchester’s Ruby Lounge tomorrow.
