Island Line
are Ian Kellett, Hazel Sainsbury, Alex Knell and Liam MacManus.
They have been described as 'Uk folk rock with a rhythmic rattle' (Glastonbury '08 Festival Programme); sometimes gloriously sunny and other times beautifully dark.
Over the last two years they have built a following of loyal fans during gigs in the UK and Europe, recently supporting Emiliana Torrini on a European tour.
Their recent single 'Another Place' gained national airplay on Dermot O Leary's BBC2 show and Lauren Laverne's BBC6 Show. They have also been played on BBCR1, BBC London. 2009 saw them once again support Emiliana Torrini on her UK tour and released their eponymously titled album on April 13th after a performance at LA's Troubadour. They were recently featured on Nick Harcourts' KCRW show.
Island Line have played festivals including Glastonbury (Park Stage), Lounge on the Farm, Latitude and Small World .
