The Lathums by Ewan Ogden
The Lathums release their debut album How Beautiful Life Can Be on September 24th.
It looked like Covid complications would put an end to the big ideas The Lathums had for their I’ll Get By promo, until volunteers including a troupe of ballroom dancers stepped in to keep everything on track.
“I wanted the video to be a celebration of the different passions and personalities in the area where the band are from,” the promo’s director James Slater explains.
” A journey through a magical north. We hit some snags, including losing some Line Dancers, but somehow a troop of ballroom dancers answered our distress call and travelled from all across the North West to replace them and do the Cha Cha Cha!”
“Our new cast ended up including a wrestler, some figure roller skaters, northern soul dancers, an Elvis impersonator, a drag queen and some Alpacas.”
The Lathums are on tour in the UK from the end of this month.
