The Coral are one of the UK’s most successful bands with 8 top 40 singles (4 top 10 hits) since their debut ‘Shadows Fall’ in 2001 when the band were still teenagers.  The Coral find themselves as the possessors of four top 5 albums - including the mini album ‘Nightfreaks and Sons of Becker’ and chart-topping ‘Magic and Medicine’ - at an age when many bands are still breaking through. Lead singer, James Skelly is the oldest member at just 26. 

2007’s album ‘Roots & Echoes’ saw the band invigorated after a period of soul searching following the release of their third studio album, ‘The Invisible Invasion’. The band took a well deserved break and returned home to Hoylake, Merseyside. Eventually a period of demo-ing new tracks with long term friend and producer Ian Broudie along with continuous encouragement from the likes of Noel Gallagher enabled the band to rediscover their sense of purpose.

The influence of The Coral on a generation of bands is hard to overstate, they returned the art of British pop song writing to the charts and gathered influential fans along the way.  One being Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkeys who has invited the band to support them on their European tour this summer and Lancashire County Cricket Ground shows.

‘Roots and Echoes’ hums with the confidence of a band newly energised and at ease with themselves, featuring the trademark melodies and confidence which have led to over a million sales across an already stunning career.
