London Grammar

Formed at Nottingham University in 2011, London Grammar burst onto the blogs and the radio in early 2013 on the back of their 'Metal & Dust' EP. They're led by Hannah Reid's mannered, Florence-ish vocals, and have picked up plenty of comparisons to The XX for their downbeat instrumentals. We didn't think much at all of their 'incurably samey and skin-deep' debut album 'If You Wait', but it was a favourite for the Mercury Prize shortlist and has certainly picked them up a shedload of fans, as shown by the demand for this big London gig.
