Crashing together the best bits of escapist pop, indie-disco, punk and DIY electronics, the group - made up of Welly and his school-mates - show early ambition to reconnect the great, grassroots British tradition with the mainstream band.
First single "Shopping", for instance, was a riotous love-letter to the UK high street, as compelled by the arch, art-rock of Pulp as the left-field bangers of Girls Aloud. Currently working as a greengrocer, Welly is quickly building a world of curtain-twitching storytelling: recent single "Soak Up The Culture" both sends-up and pays loving tribute to the Lads-On-Tour anthem, whilst "Deere John" is a rollicking tableaux of marital strife (and a lawn-mower).
With early support across 6Music, Radio X, and a run of sold-out shows and festivals, Welly are rallying a young audience likewise in search of something different (and something fun).

From the explosive support, Brass Bambees, to original entrance made by Welly, this was another great booking by Le pub. I expect Welly to gain momentum when word gets out about what a truly entertaining band they really are. The Brass bambees are maybe not what you'd expect to open for a band like Welly but, it just goes to show, bands at the different end of the music spectrum can sometimes be a good fit. What they both have in common is a willingness to give you all they've got to give, that was enough for me. Lets goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
