Fully Live present a showcase of the best upcoming talent from York as part of #IVW2022 featuring:
BULL
There’s a pleasing irony to the fact that the oldest song from York quartet Bull’s debut ‘Discover Effortless Living’, is a jangling, harmony-drenched offering entitled ‘Green’. Dating back to 2012, shortly after the group of then-young teenagers first formed, it introduces a band that – though still only in their mid-twenties – are actually far from wide-eyed apprentices on the scene (the green newcomers you might expect); instead, vocalist and chief songwriter Tom Beer, guitarist and fellow original member Dan Lucas, bassist Kai West and drummer Tom Gabbatiss have notched up more than 500 gigs to their name, honing their wares over nearly a decade of graft and emerging with a record that stands as testament to that long-term, tight-knit bond.
TRUEMAN & THE INDOOR LEAGUE
York’s newest supergroup came together to bring a depth and joy to the singer songwriter talents of Sam Trueman, who had been delighting York’s audiences with reflections on modern day living and the excitement of nights out at 70s themed nightclubs – the unthinking reviewer would harken to the music of The Divine Comedy or Pulp but Trueman & The Indoor League are better than that with a warmth and wit that brings the listener into their world.

KITTY VR
Kitty VR has taken the audience’s breath away in a variety of venues with a mixture of eerie vocals and melancholy accompaniment. Starting with an acoustic guitar she realised it wouldn’t give her the options she wanted, so has brought new depth to the songs ranging from Mazzie Star and Radiohead-esque guitar music to the sultry soundscapes of 90’s trip-hop. The three singles have each been selected as ‘Track Of The Week’ on BBC Introducing York & Humberside. These can be heard on her debut release ‘All In Her Head’ on Spotify.
