Jun 12 - Local Acts Headwires And Orfila To Join The Gib Music Fest Stars
Two further local acts are also now confirmed: Headwires and Orfila.
Headwires are a young, local Indie Rock band founded in late 2011. The trio has always worked hard to produce original music. Their songs are catchy, and filled with teenage angst. Their music is a combination of sounds influenced by the individual musical tastes and personalities of Evan Torrente (vocals and bass), Patrick Murphy (guitar & backing vocals) and Daryl Payas (drums), culminating in the unique sound of Headwires.
Hot on the heels of the release of their debut EP 'Organs' in early June, the band are excited and thrilled at the prospect of performing for the largest audience in Gibraltar. They're hoping to provide a passionate performance filled with energy and intensity.
Orfila are an acoustic folk/pop trio consisting of siblings Abi, Louise and Matt Orfila from a local family based in Kent. They are all accomplished musicians and songwriters in their own right. They have their own distinctive sound blending superb three part harmonies with a Folk/pop feel. The band was formed in 2012 and has played all over the South East of England. They are regularly featured on BBC Radio Kent and have played with some major artists including The Wanted, Alexandra Burke, and Eliza Doolittle. In April 2013 the band supported Albert Hammond; the Gibraltar star was so impressed that he invited the trio to record their debut album (due for release later this year) at his Midlands based studio.
