Skinny Lister
Skinny Lister are a family of like-minded musicians, English to the
core and with folk in their hearts, Daniel, Lorna, Max, Sam and Dan are
the life, the soul and the party. Their music, equal parts traditional
folk and ramshackle pop, rip roaring and rum totingly exciting, a
Skinny Lister gig is an experience that spins you round, lifts you up
and puts a smile on your face all the way home. Whether its heave-ho-
ing shanties, family penned traditional songs or their own trade mark
sounds from a lost summer spent tripping through fields of corn or hazy
nights at a country pub, Skinny Lister is a lifestyle and the
soundtrack to happiness.
Skinny Lister’s infectious melodies and good time songs such as Plough
& Orion, Colours and Kite Song have already pricked the most discernible of
ears including, 6 Music’s Steve Lamacq and Tom Robinson who championed the band’s
fledgling release, December.
The Independent summed up the Skinny Lister sound with “It’s really quite lovely music
– tunes to soundtrack a day spent relaxing’, whilst NME Radio hailed it
‘Bruisingly pleasant stuff’’, and respected beardstroking online music
site Drowned in Sound described the band as ‘Heartfeltedly glorious,
somewhere between the Arcade Fire and Los Campesinos’
2011 sees the release of Skinny Lister's debut album, as they spread
the colours of the summer with their sunkissed brand of pop-folk songs.
Flying kites on breezy heights across the UK, winning and spinning fans
along the way. A Skinny Lister gig is more than just songs, it’s about
singing and dancing, do-si-do -ing, laughing and leaving all your
worries behind. So join us and let the revelry begin!!
