Ethers Air
A view snaps of the bands gigs at High Barn and F*ck n Roll at Hoxton Square!
Ethers Air originate from Chelmsford/Essex and consists of Lee Moffatt and Melanie Ferguson, who have decided to combine their talents and play under the name of "Ethers Air". A name that came about by accident while they were travelling on a train through the country.
Lee is the driving force behind the group in writing, playing and singing the songs, Mel's voice compliments Lee's perfectly for backing vocals and she plays guitar, piano and also adds percussion to most songs. Together they are creating something different within the music scene.
The band was created after Mel featured in one of Lee's gigs at "The Acoustic Lounge" in Clapham and got some great comments; they decided to try it again at "The Hermit Club" in Brentwood and were amazed with the reviews.
Since then they have been asked to play at venues throughout the summer, in and around London, including the "F*ck n Roll" night @ The Cube and Star in Shoreditch, which was listed as one of
The Guardian's Pick of the Week in last month's The Guide and the Unplugged Night at High Barn in Essex which ended up as a fantastic night...view that blog HERE !
