The Enemy

Lead singer Tom Clarke says: “If you ask any 16-year-old what he wants to do, he will have loads of dreams and ambitions – he might want to be a musician or a scientist. But it’s important to follow those dreams even if there are some knock-backs along the way.

“When we were starting out we played three gigs at The Hope & Anchor in the city centre. The first night there were only 20 people there, nodding their heads. The second time that crowd had grown and by the third time, there were 200 people who couldn’t get in!

“We feel really lucky that the band has become popular but we know there are loads of talented people in Coventry. That’s why we’re happy to support the Make Your Mark campaign which is encouraging young people in Cov to have ideas and dreams and see them through.”
