The 286 include a string section of electric cellos and violins who play a feature role in the band, both in terms of style and sound. We aim to fuse rock & pop with classical music, creating something entirely original and different in the process.

The 286 were formed by Spencer Hannabuss (guitar/vocals), looking to achieve a long held ambition to break away from the tried and tested indie rock band line up, and create a band that had a less conventional approach to songwriting and performing.

The 286 released their second EP in April 2014. Their debut release, 'A Victory for Battalion 286', was a huge success and established them as the UK's only rock & roll orchestra.

'EP' is available from http://the286.bandcamp.com and also iTunes, Napster, Spotify and all other digital stores and streaming services. It includes the tracks Let The Rain Fall Down, Little Louisa and Miracle on 286th Street - DOWNLOAD IT TODAY!

The 286's debut release 'Victory...' is also available on download from http://the286.bandcamp.com/ and features Beyond The a World and Hello, amongst others.

After a brief recording hiatus the band is currently in the studio recording more tracks and are looking to have multiple releases out in 2018

I've worked in various areas of the music industry throughout the years and, whether it was at a label, a publisher or organising festivals, the common denominator was: diy musicians and their varied views of the business.
I've come across so many talented artists but that had no idea how to promote their material and procure opportunities so I thought I'd offer some help.

PEOPLE LIKE YOU is an electropop French-Irish duo who enjoyed success all around the French music scene from MTV to festivals in 2008 with their self-titled debut album produced by none less than Goh Hotoda (Madonna, Prince, Depeche Mode) and arranged by Philippe Saisse (Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Elton John).

After taking a break to carry on with their parallel projects, Adrienne Dennehy (Dublin, IRE) and Manuel Moutier (Paris, FR) spent the past two years between Paris and London writing, recording and just building a massive catalogue that became the upcoming album Found Me.

The first single off it, "Have Some Pride", has actually morphed into an EP with several remixes, including a stunning Eleanor Rigby-esque strings-only version beautifully crafted by, once again, legendary Philippe Saisse.
