The distinctively deep voice behind tracks like ‘Barcelona’, ‘Shotgun’, and ‘Paradise’ has embarked on a UK tour in celebration of his new album ‘Staying at Tamara’s’ released in March 2018. George Ezra has topped charts across the world with singles like ‘Budapest’, and his former album ‘Voyager’ made it to number one in eight countries, including the UK. 

His second album has also followed course, topping the UK chart and gaining a Top Ten ranking elsewhere. Tracks on ‘Staying at Tamara’s’ range from upbeat tempos and Afrobeat rhythms to soul-baring songs and solo guitar melodies, arguably showing the artist’s full range of talent. NME describes it as the blend between ‘new-found maturity and crowd-pleasing choruses’, setting Ezra up for ongoing success as he continues to please fans. 

The album was the result of Ezra’s personal efforts to seek solitude and overcome anxieties of the consuming work surrounding his first album. He spent time in rural England and Barcelona, sparking inspiration through folk sounds and gospel choirs. The new side to Ezra’s work has generally been well-received.

Ezra’s success is attributed to his mature and compelling voice, his singer-songwriter genes (where brother Ethan Barnett is also in the business) and his inspiration; Bob Dylan. Born in Hertfordshire, George Ezra Barnett moved to Bristol in 2011 where he worked on his craft...and it wasn’t long before he released two EPs and began gaining fame for his music.

Just a few of its museums and galleries include the Gallery of Modern Art, the Hunterian Museum and the famous Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.

Some of the world's finest musicians have passed through Glasgow, whether in the intimate surroundings of King Tut's Wah Wah Hut or the ultra-modern SSE Hydro Arena.

AJ Tracey’s musical career can be dated back to 2011 when he began operating under the names Looney and Loonz, soon releasing his debut mixtape ‘Didn’t Make the Cut’ in 2012. He has been described as one of the best new acts in the UK by The Guardian, and is on his way to being one of the best rappers in the UK full stop. 

His unique take on grime and hip-hop can be traced back to his plethora of musical influences, from Linkin Park to Yellow Card and 30 Seconds To Mars, which shines through in his music like his latest EP ‘Secure The Bag!’.

Doves

Half Brightonian, half Icelandic, 100% loud and intoxicating. Whilst they may be called Dream Wife, the tongue-in-cheek name choice couldn't be further from who they are. Rakel Mjöll, Alice Go and Bella Podpadec refuse to fit the mould society present, instead choosing to carve out their own path through bracing and intense sounds reminiscent of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Talking Heads and more. 

Having debuted this year with the eponymous records 'Dream Wife', the trio stand on the precipice of something huge. Energy fuelled shows and jarring yet inspirational lyrics drive any audience crazy, so make sure to catch them while you can.
