The Julia Set

The band was formed in 2007, the brainchild of a guitarist and a bass-man who wanted to play "proper" rock and damn the consequences, and thus The Julia Set was born. That lasted all of five minutes, as the guitarist promptly landed a decent job in Monmouth and moved. The bass-man, however, carried on with the concept and, after a few false starts and dead-ends, managed to pull together the five-piece guitar & piano influenced rock band that we've got today, based in and around the West London area. We've had a long stint playing covers but always with the goal of writing our own material and, in 2013, we gathered a few songs together and released an EP, titled "Skyline". Further single releases and an album are due in 2024 Influences include just about any style that's ever included electric guitar, and one or two that haven't. The line-up is Mickey Berry belting out the lead vocals, Mike Atkinson pounds his bass and helps out on backing vocals, Simon Goode plays guitar like the boss he is, and Tom Smith on drums, with the hope someday he'll do some BV's aswell.
