“Orphan Colours have rapidly established themselves as the hottest band to emerge from the London Country / Roots circuit. Highly highly recommended!”

After the indefinite hiatus in 2013 of UK alt country outfit AHAB, song writer Steven Llewellyn went on to form his own band with the help of AHAB originator Dave Burn. Being firmly a part of the London country scene made it easy to get involved in collaborations with members of bands like Danny & The Champions of The World, who’s drummer Steve Brookes, already having toured heavily with AHAB, became a permanent member of Orphan Colours in 2014.

A guitar tech contact of Brookes later lead to a meeting between Llewellyn and Noah & The Whale guitarist Fred Abbott. The lead guitarist was in the midst of auditioning lead singers for his solo project and the two found common ground in their appreciation of Tom Petty and Jason Isbell. When Abbott heard Llewellyn’s demo’s for the new Orphan Colours project he immediately signed up.

“Your friendly neighbourhood Americana supergroup!”

Graham Knight was quickly drafted in on bass and vocals, having already played shows with AHAB throughout 2012, he was an obvious fit.

With gleaming commercial success, critical acclaim and rock solid underground credibility so firmly ensconced in their DNA, Orphan Colours have nothing to prove. Their debut EP High Hopes was released Feb 26th 2016 with Won’t Let You Down as the lead single. Their follow up ‘Acoustic EP’ shows a more stripped back approach showcasing their songwriting skills and was released in December 2016.

The band are currently in the studio recording their debut album, which will be released in January, just in time for them to raise the roof of our historic old venue! Check out the videos below and you’ll see why…

“There’s a sense of classicism at work here….great songwriting, performed for sheer love, without an agenda in site!”
