Orphan Colours

Orphan Colours

Orphan Colours are an alt-country rock band from London UK. Formed by ex ahab singer/songwriter Steven ‘Seebs’ LlewellynThe line-up consists of Noah and The Whale lead guitarist Fred Abbott, ex-ahab singer Dave Burn on vocals and guitar, Danny and The Champs drummer Steve Brooks and bass player Graham Knight.

The dynamic 5 piece band swing from rocking Tom Petty and Ryan Adams alt-country influences to the brooding sound-scapes of the likes of Bon Iver and Beck. Ahab’s sound has not entirely disappeared, their bluegrass tinged country can be heard on songs like ‘Jenny’ and ‘Doing Alright’, with many of the songs featuring 3 part harmonies.

They have an EP in the pipeline and are planning gigs in the UK and Europe.

Richie Syrett

Hailing from England’s North West, singer/songwriter Richie Syrett has been peddling and performing his own blend of melodic Americana flecked Folk/Rock for some time now. 

Relying on the good will and word of mouth of a growing fan base, independent releases have reached far shores and have received widespread praise. 

More recently he has assembled a band of fine seasoned musicians known currently as The Signets (additional suggestions for a name most welcome). 

Together they have retreated to the studio to work on a new record, which all being well should be ready for release around the end of the year, or the beginning of the next one. 

Either way 2014 should be an eventful year for all concerned...
