Welly *Moved from The Deaf Institute.*

Due to an electrical fault at The Deaf Institute, Welly will now take place at Aatma. Original tickets will remain valid.

 

Welly is “one of the most exciting new acts in ages” (Dork Magazine). Crashing together the best bits of escapist pop, indie-disco, punk and DIY electronics, the group—made up of Welly and his school-mates—show early ambition to reconnect the great, grassroots British tradition with the mainstream band. First single ‘Shopping’, for instance, was a riotous love-letter to the UK high street, as compelled by the arch, art-rock of Pulp as the left-field bangers of Girls Aloud. Currently working as a greengrocer, Welly is quickly building a world of curtain-twitching storytelling: recent single ‘Soak Up The Culture’ both sends-up and pays loving tribute to the Lads-On-Tour anthem, whilst ‘Deere John’ is a rollicking tableaux of marital strife (and a lawn-mower). With early support across 6Music, Radio X, and a run of sold-out shows and festivals, Welly are rallying a young audience likewise in search of something different (and something fun). “Meet one of the UK’s wittiest new songwriters” – NME – “a Where’s Wally (or Where’s Welly) of suburban England.
