Event information

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, a Where's Wally (or Where's Welly) of suburban England." - NME
