This is the final night of their nine date UK Tour and is sure to be a great nights entertainment... and one show not to miss!

Bristol based Elles seamlessly weaves rootsy blues, country and soulful rock with a contemporary edge and her trademark  ‘smoky vocals’ taking the lead.  No stranger to the scene, over the last three years, this captivating, hard-working songstress and her talented band have built up a loyal all-age fan base through relentless touring, through both the UK and Europe. 

Her two EP's, both produced by Brian Banks, (Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie) 'Who I Am To Me' (Feb 2015) and 'The Elberton Sessions' (Oct 2016) were released to critical acclaim.  Her single “Wildfire” has been played on BBC Radio 2 and Planet Rock, and her debut album is set to be released this Summer.  Also, it has just been announced that Elles is one of the four bands who have been selected to take part in the 4th UK Blues Challenge which will take place at the world famous Cavern in Liverpool on Sunday 10th September 2017.

Amy is a Nottingham born singer with Persian heritage and her passion for the blues goes as far back as she can remember.  She moved to London aged 16 gaining a scholarship for The Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts and has pursued a career in the music industry ever since.  Her debut E.P. ‘All the words’ sparked huge interest from the Blues scene and resulted in support & guest slots all over the UK.  Her current project satisfies the demands of todays music fans as she brings live performance and fast digital distribution together through her own Youtube channel - Amy Sings The Blues.  Amy is also an accomplished vocal tutor having taught for many years at establishments such as The Italia Conti Arts Centre, Guildford.
