London Ain't Sleepin'

Velarsound

unsigned

WE SAY

Faithless is the obvious reference point here but what a fresh, accessible track from London's Velarsound, based around vocallist Lucy Larner and MC/multi-instrumentalist Mark Nunn. They're available for records and publishing and they're playing In The City on Saturday September 18 at Babygrand, onstage 9pm.
