ALTERNATIVE pop trio The Cadbury Sisters will release their new single Get This Feel- ing/Drifting on June 22. The three sisters who hail from Gloucestershire released their first single Close a year ago. Get This Feeling/Drifting is an exciting departure from the melancholic vocal tones of their first release. Big and adventurous, yet classically


alternative, the Cadbury Sisters new sin- gle features a broad spectrum of sonic influences inspired by acts as diverse as Fleetwood mac, Kate Bush, Bat For Lash- es and First Aid Kit alongside the siblings own pop-songwriting creativity. Currently undertaking a 17-date UKtour,


The Cadbury sisters will play Bristol’s Lantern venue on June 17. On completion of the tour they will also be joining the line-up of Glastonbury on June 27.


Andy Howells recently poised questions to Jess Cadbury of the trio.


How did you come together? We are three sisters from Gloucester-


shire, so obviously we have been close all our lives, but only decided to start performing together in 2009 and then ac- tually formed The Cadbury Sisters as an actual band in 2010. Mary and I were at university at the time, and Lucy was still at school and had started learning guitar. I had formed a band down at uni in Plym- outh, so whenever I came home for the weekend we would go and play open mic nights in Cheltenham, and it all started from there really.


Where are you from? We are from Cheltenham, Gloucester-


shire originally. I live in Bristol now and that’s where the band is based.


How would you describe your music style & tell us about your latest release? Our music style has been constantly


evolving since we began writing, although we almost always write from personal ex- perience. We started off very folk, three girls and an acoustic guitar, and got a bit

heavier and darker in our last EP, Close. That was a very painful record to write and record, and I think you can really hear that. Our new record, Sarah, has definitely moved away from that painful place, and has a much more upbeat and fuller sound to it. We took influence from artists such as Bat For Lashes, Daughter and Fleetwood Mac.


What’s been your best live experience? That’s a tough one, we’ve had so many


really special shows, but Radio 2’s Live in Hyde Park last year was pretty amaz- ing just because it was the biggest crowd


we’ve ever played to and the atmosphere was amazing! But we also love doing the smaller more intimate stuff too. We re- cently played at Llys Meddyg in Newport, Pembrokeshire and it was so special. We felt like we were part of the family by the end of it, and didn’t want to leave.


What are you working on at the moment? We have just finished rehearsals for our


June tour. We are playing with a totally new set up from anything we’ve done be- fore, so it’s a cool feeling to be bringing people something new.


Straight after tour we play Glastonbury


followed by a few other festivals includ- ing the awesome 2000Trees Festival, and then we will be back to writing for our next release.


Where can people hear your music? You can come to one of our upcoming


shows in June, or you can find all our lat- est releases on Youtube. The new EP is out on June 15th so you can go to our website and order your copy there: thec adburysisters.com.
