New Leicester Duo ‘Elysian’ to launch at Gig at Pi Bar<\/h1>\n

by Olly stabler<\/p>\n

A new duo acoustic duo has been formed by Celia Allsop and Lon Fisher named ‘Elysian<\/strong>‘. The duo is set to launch properly under this new name with a gig at Pi Bar in Leicester on January 25th.<\/p>\n

Elysian explained to us that the name \u201crelates to or characteristic of heaven or paradise\u201d and described their music as \u201cblues, jazz and rock all in a neat, ska\/reggae shaped package. Sexy, soulful and jazzy.\u201d Fortunately, we had a chance to see the pair perform at the open mic before they had named themselves at The Soundhouse in the summer of 2013 and they definitely put on a good performance and proved to all just how talented they are. Both performers work well with each other and put a lot of soul and passion into their music.<\/p>\n

Elysian recently posted a few recordings onto soundcloud, which, Lon has told me, were recorded in a friend’s attic using a lamp stand as a mic stand! Truly makeshift recording with a real vintage sound.<\/p>\n

23rd July<\/p>\n

At the Soundhouse I saw a new act that I liked. I thought their material was fresh and original. \u00a0They were Lon Fisher and Celia Allsop.<\/p>\n
