EMMA FEE & HAPPY ENDINGS 

Hull has a thriving, vibrant independent music scene, and just one of a whole host of bands proving we are more than worthy of the coveted 2017 City of Culture title is Happy Endings. Not to be confused with the US band of the same name, siblings Adam, Emma and Rachel Fee deal in beautifully melodic, primarily acoustic guitar pop, using guitar, vocals and keyboards. The likes of 'Sunshine Happy' showcase the band's winning combination of intricate guitar work with delicious pop melodies, all underpinned by sisters Emma and Rachel's intertwining vocal harmonies. 'Last Thing On Your Mind' paints a picture-perfect portrait of a failed relationship, setting wistful, melancholy lyrics against a delicate indie-folk soundscape, while standout track 'In Circles' is a wonderfully breezy slice of classic guitar pop, with a chorus you'll be humming long after you hear it. Also available is DJ Severe's remix of 'In Circles', which expertly layers beats and sounds to give the track a hip-hop makeover, and is well worth checking out on the band's Soundcloud.

More recently, the band's multi-talented singer and guitarist Emma Fee has also been stepping out on her own. The likes of 'Where I Was' and 'Silene Noctiflora' perfectly show off Emma's silky, soulful vocals and impressive songwriting sensibilities, which bodes well for her forthcoming debut solo album, released later this year. Her four-song 'Emma Fee EP' is available to download now on iTunes and Amazon.com, and after well-recieved recent support slots with The Strawbs, we should expect to hear more great things from Emma and Happy Endings very soon!
