These guys were last with us in January, and that feels way too long ago.....
THE EQUATORIAL GROUP are back at the Jenny for an afternoon of music born of a mutual love of one-note guitar solos, stormy seas, and heartache; Imagine Crazy Horse colliding with Fleetwood Mac, on a dusty road.
Come along and see why this band has long been one of our all-time favourite acts.

ABOUT TEG
Hailing from the sleepy seaside town of Eastbourne on England’s Sussex coast, The Equatorial Group is formed of five friends from various and differing musical backgrounds. By navigating and taming this musical tug-of-war, they have created three records, in which some listeners hear the shadows of Neil Young or the colours of Fleetwood Mac.

De Krenten uit de Pop
The British band The Equatorial Group delivers its third excellent album in a row with Sea and once again succeeds in beautifully merging American roots music with timeless pop music... (continue reading)
Lonesome Highway
Throughout, the level of musicianship is top drawer and the cutting edge is often the lyrical guitar playing of Dave Davies, inventive and gliding across the rhythm and melody set by the other band members. As an ensemble they work seamlessly, whether the lush keyboard sound of Twe Fox, the inventive pedal steel and guitar of Helen Weeks or the impressive engine room of Andy Tourle on bass and Neil Grimes on drums.

Fatea
Many of the songs on the album would be perfectly at home if heard in Nashville and the overall balance and production of the album is excellent. The superb arrangements are never overdone allowing the quality of the music and lyrics to be fully appreciated. The opening track "Falling," featuring Helen on vocals, reminds me a little of Pentangle and "Dynamite" featuring Dave is reminiscent of Eagles... (continue reading)
Bandcamp review - 'Toutkutz'
‘Sea’ finds Eastbourne’s finest confidently embracing a richer, more subtly textured sound than on previous offerings, while Dave Davies' guitar is also far more prominent in the mix, achieving a ringing clarity on the solo to ‘Liberated Steel’ and the lacerating riff that powers the disquieting ‘Fire’. From bouncy, mid-tempo numbers such as ‘Taj’ to the gentler introspection of ‘Colourful’ this is another lovingly crafted blend of distinctive compositions that will entice you back repeatedly.
Bandcamp review - Simon Meader
Superb album with great memorable tunes and a ballsy production which really suits the band and these songs. Congratulations 10/10
