The Rosellys

Saturday 19th October

Charm of Finches

The Rosellys have an absolute love for alternative country music. This family band is led by life partners Dr Rebecca Rosellys (guitar, vocals, banjo) and Simon Rosellys (guitar, fiddle, vocals), along with Simon’s Dad Allan Kelly (pedal steel/accordion) and father/son Matt Kirby (bass) and George Kirby (drums). They signed to Clubhouse Records in 2015. It was at Cluhouse Record’s festival Ramblin’ Roots that the ACE Space team saw The Rosellys and immediately determined to bring them to Newbury.

  • “Capturing the essence of country, with folk ingredients baked into a transatlantic
    roots fusion” (R2 Magazine)
  • “The Rosellys blend English accents with lyrical references to both the UK and US
    alongside well pitched bass, feisty drum beats and stunning pedal steel and fiddle to
    create a sound that walks the fine line between Celtic folk and Americana” (Nashville
    Over Here)
  • “A brilliant band and a good example of that crossover where Britain meets America
    and it makes a very special sound indeed” (Ralph McLean – BBC Radio Ulster)
