A song begins and ends, not with a note, but with silence. A pause, a sustained thought, pure consciousness. For multidisciplinary artist Nicki Wells, those silences are just as fundamental as the music that flows in between. Her astonishing new album Ellipsis – a debut of sorts despite her years of experience – gives its listeners an opportunity for contemplation. A moment of calm amid the chaos.
Ellipsis, with its intertwining of Indian classical, Celtic folk, eastern European choral and western pop music, can undoubtedly credit its kaleidoscope of influences on Wells’ own fascinating heritage. Born in south London, she moved to a farm outside of Rome, Italy, when she was three years old, then to Himachal Pradesh, India – in the foothills of the Himalayas – three years later. Attending an international boarding school, Wells was surrounded by jungle and dramatic mountains, absorbing myriad languages and cultures away from the pervasive materialism of western society.
Returning with his highly acclaimed new album 'Gold On The Horizon'; Our Man In The Field performs two shows at London's The Slaughtered Lamb next week! Both shows very low on tickets, don't miss out.

Joined by musicians Thomas Dibb and Mark Lewis and with a six-piece live band in tow, with this latest project the Yorkshire musician is creating uplifting, bold and classic soul inspired music that would be as at home on the iconic Stax Records roster as it would be the stages of the South Yorkshire social clubs she grew up around.
Having recently debuted the project with a standout performance at Kent's Black Deer Festival, The Northern Cowboys have shared their first single in the form of 'High Time'. A brilliantly composed slice of modern Yorkshire soul, 'High Time' is all blazing trumpets, classic organs and soaring choruses as Housley makes a commanding opening statement certain to invite comparisons to her fellow Black Deer performers Nathaniel Rateliff & The Nightsweats or the acclaimed Durand Jones & The Indications.

'Jack Valero’s debut single Heaven Help Me made a big statement for a debut artist and his conversational lyricism, understated witty streak alongside spirited folk-rock instrumentation and a knack for timeless British pop songwriting proved to be a popular pick from new music champions and earning airplay from John Kennedy at Radio X and Chris Hawkins at 6 Music being moved to say ‘this is very impressive…..stand out new music from Jack Valero…with feels of classic Elvis Costello’.'

To call Laura Cortese a globetrotter would be to drastically understate her adventurous spirit. Her nature, as a musician, has always been to go where the wind takes her, settling into new ecosystems in which to adapt and grow roots until the breeze blows once more. In these travels, she has found a global network of collaborators–friends and mentors who have helped her forge bonds and grow mastery in many musical traditions, all of which she approaches with the same reverence and devotion that she felt when picking up a fiddle for the very first time as a young child.
Looking forward to welcoming newly added Ella Clayton and Pecq to join The People Versus, bringing haunting Folk Fairytales powered by sheer pop euphoria to The Lexington on Tuesday 25 October.
