Hull's very own Ellis J Barraclough to play at Social on Humber Street

This exceptionally talented 19 year old from Hull started playing guitar when he was just 8 and penned his very first song at the tender age of 12. Ellis has been playing local gigs in Hull and select dates in London over the past couple of years.

The pure honesty and depth of his lyrics is truly inspiring. Combined with a refreshing approach to memorable melodies and chord progressions that surprise and delight the listener. Musical influences range from The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, to the Kings of Leon, America, Radiohead and Kula Shaker.

On 4th April 2024, Ellis embarked on a nationwide tour as the support act for Simon Fowler and Oscar Harrison of Ocean Colour Scene. They were so impressed with him that they asked him to join them yet again on the Scottish leg of the tour which sold out.

He now comes back to his hometown of Hull to play his very first performance with his newly formed band The Sunscreen, a five-piece outfit. The band consists of drums, bass, guitar and keys.

He was featured on the Gabby Roslin BBC Radio London show and has been getting massive support from BBC introducing in Hull.

This marks the beginning of an epic journey for the songwriter who is now marking this Hull show as his premiere performance.
