Gabby Young & Other Animals Saturday 9 March 8pm @ Lincoln Drill Hall
The 7-piece Gabby
Young and Other Animals was formed in 2008 and the band’s sound & look is
as original as it is amazing. Young’s style combines Balkan brass, jazz and
swing in a sound that has been affectionately dubbed Circus Swing. As famous
for her extravagant costumes as for her soulful voice, her flamboyant show has
been likened to Florence + the Machine and Paloma Faith, while her classically
trained voice has been likened to that of Kate Bush, Tori Amos and Imogen Heap.
This tour is to promote her second album, which is filled with often
unexpectedly thoughtful, sophisticated songs that continually switch direction,
from cool guitar, accordion or piano-backed balladry to furious trumpet and
trombone-backed workouts.
‘We are playing this a lot because we love
it. She is terrific live, a really big wall of sound”. Graham Norton BBC Radio
