Will and the People have just been confirmed to support Girls Aloud on five of their UK tour dates starting on Saturday May 9th at Glasgow SECC and Clyde Auditorium.
Will And The People
Their debut single 'Knocking', which has just received its first play on Radio 1, will be released on May 4th. Sounding like The Specials on a particularly poppy day, 'Knocking' finds young Will Rendle stuck in his flat attempting to overcome intense paranoia with a big chorus. The result is Very Catchy Indeed.
Growing up in a sleepy coastal town, the smart but easily bored Will was in and out of trouble until he found an outlet for his wayward energy. Inspired by his love of Bob Marley & The Wailers, The Police, and Californian ska-punk pioneers Sublime, teenage Will started playing the guitar and writing songs.
Aged 18 he moved to Brighton and threw himself into the local live music scene, joining and leaving a succession of bands until he found the right people to play with him. Once The People - Dan Lundholm, John Tilley and Noddy – were recruited, things happened fast.
Will and the People will be performing at the following London venues on;
24th March Water Rats
