BIOGRAPHY

 

Ainsley Stones is a Sheffield-based multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, composer
and producer, with a penchant for live performance and original composition.

He has performed in virtually every kind of band and ensemble since he was an early teenager, and has amassed a vast amount of experience and knowledge of virtually all things musical.

His new band, The Great Escape Artists, are currently recording a new album....

The Great Escape Artists formed in January 2008 in Sheffield.
The band keep alive rewritten versions of the best of the stuff from Ainsley's previous bands, whilst bringing a level of visual and aural excitement to music not seen for decades.

There is catchiness yet complexity, because the best bands can combine both to appeal to all listeners. There is style and variety, because a band can have its own sound without quickly becoming a caricature of itself. There are meaningful lyrics yet dark humour because the best art reflects life.
Most importantly, it is written to be noticeably different yet very accessible.

The other Great Escape Artists are the wonderful Haley Muscroft on vocals, Krista "Hotpants" Joel on bass and backing vocals, Jamie Muscroft on guitar and Greg Munday on Drums and backing vocals. They are a fine body of musicians upon which to feast one's senses.
