About this concert
As part of the Wells Rocks White Hart Sessions on the first Friday of every month, this is an exciting chance to see two local artists sharing the stage in a brilliant venue in the heart of Wells.
Wells-based Anglo-Irish Acoustic Pop duo The Portraits, aka husband and wife songwriters Lorraine and Jeremy Millington from Galway and Bristol respectively, reached no 2 on the main iTunes chart, and no 24 on the Christmas Day UK Official Charts Company Download Chart in December 2020 with their version of 'Together In Electric Dreams' featuring a locked-down choir and orchestra from Somerset, UK. It was released in memory of all those lost during the pandemic of 2020 and was featured on ITV's This Morning, BBC Radio 2's Steve Wright In The Afternoon and Channel 5's Jeremy Vine, and received the backing of Stephen Fry, Midge Ure, Matt Lucas and a host of well-known figures. To date they have released 8 studio albums of their own material and performed at Glastonbury Festival on numerous occasions. https://www.theportraitsmusic.com
They are joined at this special event by Alice Laing and Dan Shaw, who have come together to form a duo of double vocals and acoustic guitars, providing sets of classic duets and ballads. Called "The Shalaings", they are based in central Somerset: Alice has a powerful and soulful voice and is joined by the multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Dan. They provide an exciting blend of skilled vocal harmonies and guitar textures. https://shalaings.uk/

THE PORTRAITS Biography
"That is so beautiful. It is so powerful. And sitting here watching you do that together is a real privilege. And it's had a real impact. I just think it's the perfect tribute to Jo Cox and everything that she tried to achieve, and is still achieving because of what people do in her memory." CLARE BALDING, BBC RADIO 2, AFTER THE PORTRAITS PLAYED THEIR JO COX TRIBUTE SONG LIVE IN HER BBC RADIO 2 STUDIO ON 23RD APRIL 2017 Anglo-Irish husband and wife Alternative Folk duo Jeremy and Lorraine Millington, a.k.a. The Portraits, released a tribute song in 2016 for Jo Cox MP, Nobody Can Ever Murder Love, that was a call for unity in Jo's name at this time of global instability. The song was championed by Clare Balding on BBC Radio 2 and led to an invitation to the duo to play and talk about the song live on her show in April 2017. The Portraits brought their upbeat sound in 2017 to Weyfest, Wallingford Bunkfest, Liverpool's Folk On The Dock (main stage curated by BBC's Janice Long) and Cornwall Folk Festival amongst other events, their positive message of unity over division, of valuing what we share over our differences, and their stories of the world's forgotten people, proving infectious and leaving audiences moved to tears and laughter in equal measure. Their sound is a warm fusion of folk, music theatre, jazz and classical styles with beautiful harmonies and their material is strongly influenced by their own experiences of travelling the world and encountering its forgotten corners. The Portraits are husband and wife alternative folk duo Jeremy & Lorraine Millington who played the last Glastonbury Fest and have been spun on BBC Radio 2
