Elephant Sessions

A concert by Elephant Sessions, the Scottish music group formed in 2012, at Islington Assembly Hall on Upper Street in north London, with an opening act on the bill.

Elephant Sessions are a Scottish music group formed as a band in 2012. Their first album, The Elusive Highland Beauty, appeared in 2014. Their fifth studio album, This Place of Ours, is their first to feature vocals, from Beluga Lagoon, Alice Faye and Hamish Hutcheson, a clear change from the instrumental music they had made until then. The record was written and recorded in Scotland and draws on the places and people around the group.

Over more than a decade, the group has played dance tents at festivals including Glastonbury and Byron Bay. Their music combines catchy melodies, synthesisers and strings with a rhythm built on deep bass tones, and the new album adds voices woven into that sound.

The concert takes place at Islington Assembly Hall, a concert and performance venue on Upper Street. The bill includes an opening act, so those who want to hear a support artist before the headliners can arrive in time for the start of the evening.
