About Me

Formed in South Africa in 2003, Cradle consists of Jessica Brett (vox and bass), Neil Drummond (guitar) Ollie (percussion) and Alina Williams(backing vox and percussion). In 2003 the band clocked up an impressive mileage of gigs around SA, culminating in a headlining slot at the Hanger 18 festival in Feb 2004. A month later Cradle relocated to London where they have been performing extensively for a year.
Highlights include being a regular fixture at the legendary Troubadour club, being booked to headline the Earl's Court festival as well as the international TRIMI's festival in Bologna Italy 2005 This dynamic group draw from a variety of influences to produce their own unique brand of funk/rock.
