Ellen And The Escapades

This gorgeous self-released single showcases a band with a fine line in bittersweet melodies whose eponymous front woman soothes your ears with her soft, Yorkshire lilt. Definitely one to watch.The Guardian

We've got a fantastic new band; I was so thrilled with them. They're called Ellen and the Escapades and theyll be playing all over the place."Michael Eavis (Glastonbury Festival)

Rave reviews indeed for Leeds' own Ellen and the Escapades are finding themselves firmly at the front of the alt-folk wave currently sweeping the UK and beyond. Their self released debut single Without You bought them to the attention of both music lovers and the music industry and also led to the band being asked to play the BBC Introducing stage at both Leeds and Reading Festivals.This year started with studio sessions from which they appeared, blinking in the sunlight, just in time to be booked for a main stage appearance at Glastonbury as winners of the Q Magazine/Glastonbury Emerging Talent competition.

With Glastonbury now added to an already busy summer diary, and anticipation and expectations continuing to grow ahead of the first Ellen and the Escapades EP release (due early this summer) 2010 is looking likely to be a very good year for Ellen and the Escapades.
