LOCKS

LOCKS are a waits-infused, skeletal-blues, band based in North London made up of L.Geary-Griffin (lead vocal/guitar), Mike Byrne (double bass), Marian McClenagan (fiddle) and more recently joined by Andy Marvell on drums. After playing with a variety of different bands with genres spanning blues, rockabilly, trad Irish, celtic punk, indie and nu-folk they found themselves in a rehearsal room together writing parts of murder ballads involving burying bodies, strange creatures and dark family secrets.

There is a subtle fixation on the darker, unnerving aspects of life and death whilst keeping a jaunty, roots-based rhythm flowing underneath. Having just returned from the BBC Introducing stage at The Great Escape, these misfits are continuing to slyly pick their way through the musical undergrowth.

ELLIOT PORTER

Being from a musical family, Cambridge singer-songwriter Elliot Porter grew up listening to his father and grandfather playing music and used to watch them from the side of the stage.

With a taste for music, his life initially took a different path until he was made redundant from his job. On that same day, he had just bought his first small stage piano but had no job to fund it. So with a piano under his arm and modest redundancy money, Elliot set out making his first record with the hope of making music his new life.

He has not looked back since and with critical acclaim and airplay from national radio including BBC Radio 2 with ?Keep Going?, a host of top support slots and a whole album worth of new material recorded, he is ready to let the world hear his best work.
