Ellen and the Escapedes, Sam Lewis and Angela Armstrong

Ellen -

“Ellen Smith’s captivating vocals are the highlight in a fantastically catchy collection of songs that tread a line between folk, pop and rock, with plenty of harmonica thrown in for good measure.... these guys are definitely one to watch.” Clash Magazine

“…enormously catchy songs. They would fit nicely into the music collections of the 400,000 Brits who’ve bought Mumford & Sons’ album…could easily fall head over heels for their warm, literate songs.” The Guardian

“...stunning set from Ellen and the Escapades, practically dripping with poppy modern folk credibility, and Ellen Smith’s admirable vocals were some of the best I heard all weekend.” The Line of Best Fit

Sam Lewis

- Sam’s music has a unique modern sound; a heady mix of soulful vocals , heartfelt passionate lyrics with tinges of blues, country, folk and soul, all played with a vitality that is fast becoming his trademark style.

After some 5 years on the road with KT Tunstall, his debut album “Everything You Are” was released in 2007, and includes “Another Lifetime” featuring KT herself on vocals. The album received a 4-star review in Mojo, BBC online, Americana monthly and Q track of the day.

Sam has supported legendary folk guitarist Bert Jansch at the Roundhouse, and followup album “The City and I” is due for release in 2012, has seen Sam once again working with fellow musician and producer Chris Morphitis.

ʻ(Samʼs) is a spacious sound with timeless poetry, bringing to mind Ben Harper, Bon Iver or Iron and Wine. It's all been recorded in the most beautiful manner.ʼ BBC
