HotWax at The Great Escape Festival 2023

THURSDAY BEACH STAGE There’s a very good reason we put HotWax on our ‘must see’ TGE23 list…and also why we have been championing them as a band to watch for the last year or so. Quite simple they ooze with all the elements that make a great live band…not least that they have a great…
