Lavinia Blackwall Band / the Equatorial Group

Lavinia Blackwall is widely recognised for her work as a singer and arranger with the critically acclaimed Trembling Bells, contributing to seven celebrated albums.

Now, backed by an incredible new live band, Lavinia's latest show blends elite musicianship with raw energy and classic song writing for a truly spellbinding experience.As well as being well known for her work as a singer and arranger in Trembling Bells, releasing seven albums, she has performed and toured extensively through Europe with artists such as Nick Garrie, Kaleidoscope, Mike Heron and Bonnie Prince Billy, as well as being invited to perform her own material live on several occasions at BBC 6Music and at Glastonbury Festival.Hailing from the sleepy seaside town of Eastbourne, The Equatorial Group is formed of five friends from various and differing musical backgrounds.

By navigating and taming this musical tug-of-war, they have created three records, in which some listeners hear the shadows of Neil Young or the colours of Fleetwood Mac.

A myriad of classic influences swirl beneath the surface and their sound defies easy categorisation, often sparking lively debate among listeners.

But whether defined as roots-pop, folk rock, dreamy alt-country or anglo-americana, the heart of the band lies in connection, storytelling, and atmosphere.

New album 'Sunseeker' is out now on Musics Not Dead Records.
