Ellen and The Escapades ‘of all the times’ + support Gary Stewart
Leeds based Ellen and the Escapades are finding themselves firmly at the front of the alt-folk wave currently sweeping the UK and beyond. Their self released debut single “Without You” bought them to the attention of both music lovers and the music industry and also led to the band being asked to play the BBC Introducing stage at both Leeds and Reading Festivals. This year started with studio sessions from which they appeared, blinking in the sunlight, just in time to be booked for a main stage appearance at Glastonbury as winners of the Q Magazine/Glastonbury Emerging Talent competition. “This gorgeous self-released single showcases a band with a fine line in bittersweet melodies whose eponymous front woman soothes your ears with her soft, Yorkshire lilt. Definitely one to watch.” The Guardian “Enormously catchy songs…they would fit nicely into the music collections of the 400,000 Brits who’ve bought Mumford & Sons album.” –
