“A brilliant band and a good example of that crossover where Britain meets America and it makes a very special sound indeed”

Ralph McLean – BBC Radio

"The Rosellys capture the essence of country, with folk ingredients baked into a transatlantic roots fusion."

R2 4/5 Stars


"The Rosellys are a band who make no apology for their love of Americana. Musically, they blend English accents with lyrical references to both the UK and US alongside well pitched bass, feisty drum beats and stunning pedal steel and fiddle to create a sound that walks the fine line between Celtic folk and Americana"

“A brilliant band and a good example of that crossover where Britain meets America and it makes a very special sound indeed”

Ralph McLean – BBC Radio Ulster


In 2015 The Rosellys signed to Clubhouse Records and released their first full band album 'The Granary Sessions', gathering praise from musicians, critics and audiences alike. They have toured extensively across the UK, Australia and America - notably the Southern States where San Antonio (Texas) has become their second home. Influenced by artists such as Emmylou Harris, Gram Parsons, Alison Krauss, Chris Stapleton, Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings, it is clear The Rosellys have an absolute love for Americana music.

The Band formed when Rebecca (guitar/vocals) met Simon (guitar/vocals/fiddle) in 2005. Allan (pedal steel/resonator) joined the band in 2006 - recording on all of their albums to date including Drive Through The Night (2006), One Way St (2008), Two Much Like Trouble (2011) and The Granary Sessions (2015). Matt (bass) joined the band in 2015 creating a powerful alt-country sound.

Several tracks from 'The Granary Sessions' have had airplay on BBC Radio Ulster (Cherrie McIlwaine & Ralph McLean), Amazing Radio (Baylen Leonard) , The International Americana Music Show (Michael Park), Dublin City FM (Noel Casey), The Miller Tells Her Tale (Karen Miller) and The Americana Music Show (Calvin Powers). 'The Granary Sessions' was listed in the Cadiz Music 'Best of 2015', Adam Wilson's Quiet Revolution 'Best of 2015' and Macwood Fleet's 'Best of 2015'. Nashville Over Here included The Rosellys' album release show at The Green Note in Camden (London) as one of their 'highlights of 2015'.


In April 2016 The Rosellys performed a live session on BBC Radio 4's 'Loose Ends' with Clive Anderson. They have also played live on BBC Radio, KSYM Radio (USA), House of Mercy Radio, UKCountryRadio.com and at various festivals including Summer Pie Festival (Palma, Mallorca), Didmarton Bluegrass Festival, South Essex Bluegrass festival, Secret Garden Party, Truck Festival, Buckle And Boots Country Music Festival, Tingestock, Chepstow Folk Festival, Worcester Music Festival, Crawley Folk Festival, Lazy Bishops Festival, The Woodzie Festival (New Braunfels, USA), PigFest (Louisiana, USA) and Maverick Country Music Festival, winning their song writing competition in 2010. Venues played include The Green Note (London), Bush Hall (London), The Musician (Leicester), The Bullingdon (Oxford), The Louisiana (Bristol), Come Down And Meet The Folks (London), The Canteen (Bristol), The Greystones (Sheffield), The Basement (Nashville, USA), Gruene Hall (Gruene, USA), Casbeers (San Antonio, USA), Floores Country Store (Helotes, USA), Enochs (Monroe, USA), The Rattle Inn (Austin, USA), Capitol Theatre (Tamworth, Australia) and the world famous Aubade Theatre (Lecompte, USA).


"Hailing from the UK, The Rosellys are really quite an exceptional band that proves the British country music scene is by no means dead and buried"

(Maverick Magazine)


Rebecca and Simon have been lucky enough to record guitar, backing vocals and fiddle for their favourite UK based country rock band (and label-mates) 'The Redlands Palomino Company' on their third album 'Don't Fade', and also on their latest CD 'Broken Carelessly'. Hannah Elton-Wall (Redlands Palomino Co) blessed The Rosellys third album 'Two Much Like Trouble' with beautiful backing vocals and The Rosellys were very excited to have Hannah back in the studio for their latest album 'The Granary Sessions'. Her husband Alex Elton-Wall (also Redlands Palomino Co) recorded and co-produced The Rosellys new album available now through Clubhouse Records.

The Globe at Hay is an independent arts centre, embracing an ever changing arts landscape.

In 2008, Hilary Lawson, an already long standing resident of Hay-on-Wye, saw that the Methodist Chapel at the end of town was up for sale. Thinking that this uniquely creative town would benefit hugely from access to a gamut of arts and events, the globe was founded.

Believing firmly in the ‘Town of Books’, and its community, the globe pledges to invest in making a space where all can come together to share in culture and expression. We want to ensure that being based rurally is no barrier to exceptional events. In our programme you will find films, live music, talks & debates, workshops, art exhibitions, courses and schools’ opportunities. We believe that in a small community like Hay-on-Wye, an arts centre has a duty to work with its audience and listen to feedback so that the programme is always diverse and relevant.

Year round we showcase talent found on our doorstep and we are proud that we have a local audience drawn from the town, as well as people that travel from further afield. Over 10 days in May, when the world turns its attention to Hay-on-Wye for the festivals, the globe at hay is the home to the internationally renowned music and philosophy festival, HowTheLightGetsIn.

We have an education programme that focuses on creating work that encourages students and teachers alike to explore big topics through creative and experiential workshops. The globe is particularly committed to ensuring that our work has an impact on hard-to-reach young people, and this means that we are always exploring new funding streams to carry on this work.

At the globe you will find our cosy and welcoming cafe, run in collaboration with our Globe Kitchen. We celebrate food that is sourced and cooked sustainably, allowing our menus to evolve with the seasons. Not only do we support the local rural economy, we are certain you will find our menu utterly delicious!

The globe at hay exists to ensure that audiences from both near and far can find exemplary arts and events, in this unique and rural location. We look forward to welcoming you soon.
