The Cribs return to Wakefield to view new exhibition on their career
Brothers Ross, Ryan and Gary Jarman, from Netherton, called in to Wakefield Museum to see the display, which includes memorabilia from the band’s 15 year career and charts their rise.
Vocalist Gary said: “The exhibition is really flattering.
I’m still a little shellshocked, it’s a real honour.
“What makes it so special is that when I was 15, seeing a local band share their success and memorobilla would have inspired me.”

The exhibition aims to inspire a younger generation of upcoming bands and musicians.
And the brothers say many of the items on show hold a special place in their hearts.
Highlights include an amplifier Ryan began using whilst at Horbury School and drumkits used by Ross in the group’s early years.
