West-country collective established in 2013, with a genre-defying, eclectic sound that ranges from traditional folk to full blown festival rock. The Leylines are: Steve Mitchell (Vocals & Rhythm Guitar), Hannah McLeod (Violin/Piano/Backing Vocals), Ben Higgs (Lead Guitar), Sean Booth (Bass Guitar/Backing Vocals) and Dave Burbidge (Drums.
The Leylines was founded by a group of musicians in Weston-super-Mare (via Bristol), wishing to combine their individual musical styles into something that isn't quite folk, sort of punk, 100% heart-pounding revelry. This unique sound, combined with frontman Steve Mitchell's lyrics centred around life on the road and the state of society, has launched the band into the heart of the live music community and made them firm favourites of the festival circuit.
The band released their debut album, 'Along The Old Straight Track' in June 2016, produced by Sean Lakeman, recorded at The Metway studios in Brighton and mixed by Al Scott. With this team on board, inevitably the record has drawn strong comparison to the likes of The Levellers, Mad Dog Mcrea and Ferocious Dog, whilst remaining an album by a band which have forged their own sound and identity.
With a fiercely loyal and ever-growing fan base, The Leylines guarantee to have their audiences up on their feet - and they will be having as much fun as their audience while they're doing it!
