Gabby Young Band & Other Animals

Event information

Gabby Young's twisting roots have carried her & that stunning voice from her native Wiltshire around the UK to land with a bang at the centre of London's music scene.
The youngest ever recruit to the National Youth Opera at the age of 12, Gabby was on track to become an opera singer until Jeff Buckley and the jazz greats inspired her to switch teams.

Whilst still in her teens Gabby frequented open mic nights and played with a spectrum of bands before recording her first solo record in her bedroom before she turned 21. 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 we know today. Young's 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.
