Famous Last Words with Alfie Templeman

Alfie Templeman is Bristol’s biggest fan. It’s his “favourite place to play in the world”, and he’ll stand by that. Even though he could’ve quickly sold out SWX, he revisited ‘the boat’ (Thekla) because it’s one of his all-time favourite venues to play. At only 21, Alfie has been worldwide, playing over 100 shows in just 2022 alone and even has the legendary Nile Rogers featured on his sophomore record, Radiosoul.
