Bess Atwell

Bess Atwell is a British musician performing at The Leeds Irish Centre in Leeds, a venue on York Road that mainly hosts pop, rock and indie concerts. The act has released a debut album, Hold Your Mind, in 2016.

Bess Atwell is a British musician born in 1994 in the London borough of Lambeth. Her debut album, Hold Your Mind, appeared in 2016, and the material for this event describes her fourth record, Cut a Figure, as one of her most candid releases to date. It was made after a spontaneous move to Canada, where she lived for nine months, and it looks at her relationships, decisions and motivations over the course of her life.

The songs on Cut a Figure were produced by Chris Coady, whose previous work includes albums by Foals, Slowdive, Beach House, Future Islands and Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The first single, The Act, is a moody, Eighties-influenced pop track that Atwell wrote while living in Quebec. Her recent work has concentrated on lyrics about family conflict, heartache and resentment, and this record turns that attention towards her own handling of anger.

The Leeds Irish Centre, on York Road, is a venue that mainly hosts concerts in the pop, rock and indie field, which suits the genre of this act's music.
