Gabby Young and Other Animals

Rescheduled from October, the talented young musician from Wiltshire brings her 8-piece band and global sound to Swindon.

Her avant-garde fusion of globally influenced folk combines Balkan brass, jazz and swing in an aural antiques shop from the future… to produce what has been affectionately dubbed “Circus Swing” by those who realise there is no existing genre to encompass Young’s sound.

Gabby’s unique perspective of the world around her is inspired as much by imagination as real events, but when thyroid cancer threatened to take her classically trained voice at the age of 22, she got serious about recording her stories.

Using her recovery time to pen her melodies Gabby took in global influences to fuel her heartfelt emotion which shines through her beautifully haunting songs.

In 2008 Gabby formed the 8-piece band ‘Other Animals’ who complete the magical musical fairground seen today.
