A versatile and energetic five-piece who combine arresting harmonies with styles ranging from traditionally inspired folk to rousing indie disco. Their live shows have a reputation for ‘stormy warmth’. In the past they’ve supported Florence and the Machine, Lucy Rose, Johnny Flynn, Stornoway and Turin Brakes. Recently alongside some great American and British artists, I Said Yes were chosen to be part of the ‘Trump-free America’ 30 days 30 songs campaign. They’ve also been championed by Jim Gellatly, Glastonbury Emerging Talent, XFM and BBC Introducing and have received the following accolades:
