Satellite Tour, a brand new live music experience
showcasing the best up-and-coming artists, is coming in February 2014. The tour visits some of the best small venues the UK
has to offer, bringing the hottest new artists to a town near you.
We caught up with the acts ahead of the tour and first up is singer/songwriter Fred Page. Click below to read what he had to say to us about musical influences, his single, 'Concrete' and this being his first ever tour...
You’re a stripped back
singer/songwriter- do these intimate venues on The Satellite Tour work
perfectly for you?
I
hope so! It's gonna be cool with the contrast of the other two acts being
bands.
The tour is hitting all 4 corners of the UK; is it nice
for you to get to places and venues that other tours don’t reach?
Yeah
big time, I'm looking forward to seeing places I've never been.
And we hear it’s your first tour- have
any bands or friends given you advice?
The
advice is pretty varied. I'm not sure who to believe, I've been told I'm
"gonna love it” although I'm not sure what that means.
A year of firsts for you because your
first single is coming out soon? Can you tell us a bit more about it?
It's
a song called ‘Concrete’ - I wrote it half way through last year. Sort of about
being consistent for someone. Recorded it with Eliot James at the beginning of
this year.
The Satellite Tour is made up of bands
selected as ones to watch out for- is it nice to be asked to be a part of that?
I'm
really pleased to be a part of it I think it's gonna be great.
What singer/songwriters influenced you
growing up and shaped your sound?
There
was a lot of Jeff Buckley and Fleetwood Mac in our house - and all the 90s
bands like the Verve and Travis. I love Ryan Adams and Bon Iver.
What else has 2014 got in store?
Who
knows! Lots of shows, songs and stories I hope!
Tickets cost
£4 and are on sale now.
