From England, Ireland and Scotland, three musicians met in Manchester in the winter of 2016. A few weeks later Café Spice was formed on a wet and windy night in a curry house on the outskirts of Glasgow. Made up of Georgia Gage (Scotland), Niamh Feeney (Ireland) and Eleanor Lang (The North), Café Spice are a trio who create heavenly and Autumnal harmonies reminiscent of the Mamas & Papas whilst also sitting with the effortlessly sublime indie-folk of contemporaries such as The Staves or HAIM.
2019 has been a good year for the trio. Fresh off the back of their first two singles, they’ve been travelling up and down the country in Niamh’s tiny car playing gigs in a myriad of venues and places. Highlights include selling out major touring stop, Jimmy’s in Manchester, the unbeatable atmosphere of Leeds and Bristol Sofar Sounds and playing in Liverpool in one of four octagonal churches in the UK. With a headline show in London and a spot at Sligo Live on the horizon, Café Spice are excited to end the year with a bang with their headline show at Band on the Wall, Manchester. Having recently acquired a new drummer, the group are shaping up to be the ultimate girl band of their childhood dreams.
The three musicians each bring their own individual styles spanning jazz, blues, pop, country, traditional folk and funk. The result is a fantastic fusion and mixing pot of genres. A new sound woven from singing, harmony and clever songwriting. It’s not just the thoughtful songwriting and easy rhythms that make listening to Café Spice so wonderful, it’s the pleasure of watching them perform and feeling the joy that radiates from them almost warming your skin; it’s clear they love nothing more than singing together. Their fun loving and relaxed attitude on stage make any Café Spice gig a delight to attend.
