   About Decree
Here's the story:

Abby, from Countesthorpe, Leicester

met

Pippa, from Botley, Oxford

at

Leeds Met Uni
Abby said,

"You play guitar?"

Pippa said,

"and I sing too"

They decided to

write a few songs and play a few gigs

And the consequence was...

the beautiful, talented Decree

   
Then they met...
 
Sian, who played percussion with them.
Caroline, who became their manager.
Fabian, who helped to record and produce their first album.
   
Sian moved on and Ralph, Chris and David all took turns on drums and percussion.
The album, Grapes From A Thornbush, was released on
27th August 2006 and a lot of people bought it.

Unfortunately for you it's all sold out now, but there is a brand new EP available NOW!

In 2007 Decree were picked for Leeds Bright Young Things. This was a great opportunity, featuring on an 11,000 copy compilation CD, given away free with Leeds Guide. See www.leeds.gov.uk/byt for more details.

Since then they have continued to perform further afield in London, Liverpool, York and Leicester. The new EP is out NOW so get in touch to get hold of a copy!
