The Ferret, Preston

Welly is "one of the most exciting new acts in ages" (Dork Magazine).

Crashing together the best bits of escapist pop, indie-disco, punk and DIY electronics, the group—made up of Welly and his school-mates—show early ambition to reconnect the great, grassroots British tradition with the mainstream band. First single ‘Shopping’, for instance, was a riotous love-letter to the UK high street, as compelled by the arch, art-rock of Pulp as the left-field bangers of Girls Aloud. Currently working as a greengrocer, Welly is quickly building a world of curtain-twitching storytelling: recent single ‘Soak Up The Culture’ both sends-up and pays loving tribute to the Lads-On-Tour anthem, whilst 'Deere John' is a rollicking tableaux of marital strife (and a lawn-mower). With early support across 6Music, Radio X, and a run of sold-out shows and festivals, Welly are rallying a young audience likewise in search of something different (and something fun).

"Meet one of the UK's wittiest new songwriters" - NME - "a Where's Wally (or Where's Welly) of suburban England."

HUNGRY: 

"Hungry has a serious case of the smarts, and their poetic sociopolitical songs combine angst and fun and an angular arithmetic anthemic energy into a potent whole that is going to make them your new favourite band.

They are not just a good band to flag up but potentially a big band that sounds already ready to occupy festival stages and make some sense of these lunatic times." - John Robb, Louder Than War
