Ferry
24 Jun 2016, Fri
6.50pm – 7.20pm & 8.50pm – 9.20pm
Ferry exists as a mystery — elusive, aloof, teasing the curiosity, changing the mind. The solo project of Jean Low, lead singer and guitarist of Giants Must Fall, Ferry is the creative output of a very diverse, sometimes confused individual who just likes to make things look and sound pretty.

He released his EP The Greatest Enemy recently this year and now looks to reconnect with his listeners.

No names, no faces, no photos. No band profiles, no press releases, no logos. No websites, no Facebook, no Twitter. No Instagram, no YouTube, no Tinder. No cassette tapes, no CDs, no vinyls. No crew, no managers, no labels. No plan. Not even a real band. Just stories, told through the medium of sound and the language of heartbreak. So who the F are The E’s? Well, who’s asking?
