Orphan Colours

After the indefinite hiatus in 2013 of UK alt country outfit Ahab, song writer Steven Llewellyn went on to form his own band with the help of Ahab originator Dave Burn. Being firmly a part of the London country/folk scene made it easy to get involved in collaborations with members of bands like Danny & The Champions of The World, and Noah & The Whale. Drummer of the former and lead guitarist of the latter coming together to join Llewellyn on his new project. Bassist Graham Knight, having already played shows with ahab throughout 2012 was quickly drafted in on bass and vocals as the last piece of the puzzle.

The band have some impressive credentials with Llewellyn and Burn having already honed their songwriting craft during their tenure with ahab, who swiftly built a reputation as an unmissable live act after their performance at the Cropredy Festival 2010. That performance paved the way for a collaboration with legendary producer John Leckie and being championed by BBC 2 DJ ‘Whispering’ Bob Harris. The band went on to play many successful tours in UK, Denmark, Germany and Australia as well as notable festivals; Bestival, Green Man, Wilderness and Board Masters amongst others.

Not to mention Abbott’s huge success with Noah & The Whale's hit records. Also playing a number of notable shows, including The Royal Albert Hall, Coachella, Lollapoloza, Green Man and Glastonbury as well as appearing on shows such as the Late Show with David Letterman, Later… with Jools Holland and The Graham Norton Show

With gleaming commercial success, critical acclaim and rock solid underground credibility so firmly ensconced in their DNA, Orphan Colours have nothing to prove.

Their debut EP High Hopes was released Feb 26th 2016 with Won't Let You Down as the lead single. Tracks from they're brand new 'Acoustic EP' are appearing on all major streaming platforms from mid-November and will be available for sale in December 2016.

The band are currently in the studio recording their debut album.
