About us


Fresh from selling out the Union Chapel to over 500 people- this innovative, exciting 7 piece bring together gypsy, folk, rock and jazz to create a melting pot of highly energetic, catchy, dramatic songs. "As the stage filled with a backing band that wouldn't be out of place in a jazz brunch (trumpets, double bass and all). Just to keep it interesting, there was also an accordian filling the room with the sound of a busker on Le Metro. If that all sounds wacky, it's extremely pleasing to say that the music wasn't. It was just really good. Beyond good use of all the instruments on stage, the most important aspect was Gabby Young herself who can really, really sing and when combined with the amazing venue provided and awe-inspiring set. Just because someone can sing and lets themselves go a bit doesn't mean you should just throw the name Jeff Buckley at the page, but this time it feels well deserved. Add in Muse's trick of bringing songs to a cacophanous conclusion, red hair being tossed around whilst accordians are mashed that left listeners feeling thoroughly exhausted and from the raucous approval it left them quite delighted as well. Recommended." Andrew Revell, Disposable Media
