Glastonbury

Alice Russell - Live Stream (2013x11)

Air date: Jun 28, 2013

The much loved British soul and blues singer Alice Russell will be bringing her raw talent and charisma to the West Holts stage. She released her 5th solo album In Dust in February this year, elevating her to a new level of mainstream recognition with accolades including BBC 6 Music Album of the Day and a performance at BBC 6 Music Live at Maida Vale. With a recent guest spot on Talking Heads leader David Byrne’s solo LP, adding to work with Mr Scruff, Quantic, DJ Yoda plus long-time collaborator TM Juke, she's borne some of the most arresting blues soul since the glory days of Aretha. Her recent single Heartbreaker was accompanied by a video starring comedy god and long-time Alice fan Harry Shearer (The Simpsons/Spinal Tap) dressing up as Alice, gaining over 100,000 YouTube hits and a major buzz. Let’s hope Mr Burns will turn up for an unforgettable Glastonbury appearance.
