Postcard from my ‘Through the glass’ tour
Hello! I’m more than half way through my Quiksilver Women ‘Through the glass tour’ and I’m having a blast! My acoustic band and I have been to Loughborough, Dublin, Belfast, Brighton, Falmouth and Newquay! Phew! Still to come Cardiff, Bristol and Covent Garden in London. It’s certainly a different way of playing to the crowds! Here’s us in Holiday Hotspot Newquay, Cornwall! It was baking and we had a beautiful sunny weekend on the beach when we werent behind the glass!
Playing to the local crowds and merrily signing CD’s is great fun especially when people that I’ve never met know all the lyrics to my songs! Very impressive seeing as I have so many lyrics!! The shop owners have been a great laugh and we are really excited about making a short video about our tour which will be finished in August! Thanks to everyone thats coming out to see us and snapping up my CDs!
Heres us at the Brighton store in the south of England on fashion Rocks weekend. This is where I used to go for my summer hols as a child so loved playing the store here! It was extra hot and the window was pretty small so the store owner got us playing outside in the sun and the people in the restaurant next door loved it!
Thanks to Dave as always on guitar and Djembe and for keeping me amused, the talented pianist and singer Hils for taking time out of teaching music and late but great addition to the band Tom on bass. Not forgetting hilarious Kev our cheeky sound engineer and Meena for faciliatating and helping us put together this crazy tour!! Best of all thanks Quiksilver Women for all the costume changes! Each week I loved planning what to wear and having a shop full of clothes to choose from! Definitely living the dream!

Brighton Fashion Week
Hey… just a reminder about my gig this SATURDAY in Brighton , at the Quiksilver womens store, Duke Street. It has been cleverly crafted to coincide with Brighton Fashion Week, which is going on from 9th to the 12th of June.
I will be playing in the window from 1pm and 5pm, world-cup craziness permitting, as part of my UK quiksilver “through the glass tour”, and would love to see you there!!
Love, Ellie xxxxx
