Gentlemen of Few support from Lorraine and The Borderlands

BBC Radio 2 Folk Award Finalists Gentlemen of Few play an eclectic blend of old-time bluegrass and classic rock with skilful vocal harmonies and powerful lyrics. The four founders: Elliott Norris, Reece Forward, Kit Evans and Jarrod Piner perform their music with a raw passion and intense energy hardly to be believed, giving them an almighty sound that they’ve coined as “Nugrass”.

A band with five years experience of performing their shows to a plethora of welcoming audiences and dedicated fans across the UK in rooms and halls of both homeliness and esteem. The Royal Albert Hall, London; The Leas Cliff Hall, Folkestone and The Forum, Tunbridge Wells to name a few, but the boys have found themselves at Tiree Music Festival 2014/15, Scotland; Secret Garden Party 2014, Cambridgeshire; Boomtown Fair 2014/15, Hampton and even supporting the likes of “The Blockheads”, “The Beat” and “Hayseed Dixie”!

“Fusing an old time bluegrass sound with a youthful English vigour, impeccable harmonies and song craft way beyond their years. Mighty impressive.” -Smugglers Records

“So young yet so amazing” – Chris Evans, Radio 2

“Incredible live sound” – BBC Radio Kent

Support comes Lorraine & The Borderlands

Lorraine & The Borderlands recently supported Deacon Blue and Karine Polwart who tipped them as the next big Scottish breakthrough act. From rave reviews for their debut album, including 4 stars in the Scotsman and a showcase on BBC Introducing and STV, the band are attracting the attention that their music deserves.

Drawn together through the Scottish music scene, Lorraine a butcher’s daughter from Donegal, Jonee Duggan a techno DJ turned accordionist, Nick Jenkins an Eton school boy turned travelling fiddle player and Calum Ingram, classically trained turned folk/ rock cellist, comes a modern folk combination you won’t forget.

Promoting their new single Good Things, Lorraine & The Borderlands will be supporting Gentleman of few and look forward to playing at Hootanannys in Inverness.
