rāga - that which colours the mind

George Howlett, musician and music writer. I play guitar, tabla, santoor, and hand percussion, and write about topics loosely related to jazz, jungle, rhythm, and Indian Classical. I’m currently a writer-in-residence for Darbar Festival, and am recording a Rāga Junglism EP.

Singer-Songwriter Eleanor first entered the music scene in 2011 under the name ‘Ellie Jacobs’ when she collaborated with Randy Bachman from Bachman-Turner Overdrive to produce her first album ‘Girl On The Moon’. Since then Eleanor has continued to write and record, with her latest independent album 'Written In The Rubble' due for release later this year. Last year Eleanor went from strength to strength, performing all over the UK, Paris and Berlin, and a return tour in South Africa. This year after starting to work with Clint Productions Eleanor has set her eyes on even bigger better things. Eleanor has numerous performances lined up at major Festivals across the UK and Europe, and with the approach of her latest Album nearing, this year will be a busy year and exciting year, that Eleanor can't wait to get started.

 Eleanor would describe her unique genre of sound as ‘English Country’ deeply rooted within the ‘Country’ genre but with a contemporary and English modern vibe. Eleanor loves language, the way words can be used to capture and create emotions, situations and stories .Eleanor is able to find the unique story in the everyday; finding a way to relate and convey the emotions and sometime difficult current topics to people through the art of music. She does not confine herself to the normal topics of love and heart break as at only 22 she admits she hasn't really experienced those feeling that much yet. Eleanor is able to communicate and deliver her beautifully scripted and sculpted stories which often reach way beyond her years with her smooth vocals, fully immersing listeners into her concepts and music. Performing her gigs accompanied by just an acoustic guitar or with a full band, Eleanor captivates audiences with her unique voice and inspired lyrics. Eleanor is so happy and grateful to be able to wake up and do something she loves everyday and to have the ability to share her passion with the world.
