Bandstand Busking with Sea of Bees

The Bandstand Busking team bring talented musicians to bandstands across the city to play short intimate shows.

On Saturday See of Bees played a gem of a gig in a hidden leafy London square. Julie Ann Baenziger, also known as Californian singer-songwriter Sea of Bees, performed a handful of acoustic tracks in front of a crowd of no more than twenty people.

Except for the rustling of the trees, Wilmington Square was completely hushed by the sound of two stunning voices and an acoustic guitar recreating beautifully innocent folk treasures.

The Dø

I’ve just fallen completely in love with The Dø.

The French/Finnish duo have released their debut album ‘Both Ways Open Jaws’ and I am obsessed with it.

Combining an eclectic, experimental pop sound, with dark and haunting vocals. It’s just wonderful.
