Little Sutton singer Elsie (pronounced L-C as in Laura Critchley) will be headlining the Dawsons-Farida Guitars stage at Chester Rocks on Saturday 2nd July. The second stage will also feature up and coming bands from the area and festival organisers will be announcing the winners of the local band search shortly. Fellow Little Sutton singer Ian Prowse and his band Amsterdam will be headlining the second stage on the Sunday.
Elsie is about to unleash her brand new Blondie-inspired sound at a special homecoming gig at Chester Rocks “I was born in Chester and born to rock so being asked to headline at Chester Rocks is an absolute honour. I can’t wait to come home! I’m gonna rock it like a Roman rock godess.”
The Chester-born singer who now lives in London, has spent the last year dividing her time between recording her album with the Stereophonics’ producer and touring the world as Tom Jones’ lead vocalist.
Her dancefloor-friendly, live-band-driven album follows the fortunes of a small town girl who heads off for the bright lights of the big city.
Over catchy riffs and Discorock bass lines, Elsie sings about bad men, broken hearts, naughty nights out and those girls you just can’t trust.
In the few moments of time Elsie's had away from gigging and recording, she's visited the troops in Iraq and worked with homeless dog charities The Mayhew Animal Home and The Dogs Trust.
Chester Rocks is a new two day outdoor music festival and will take place at the famous Chester Racecourse on Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd July.
