"After selling-out The Slaughtered Lamb twice and having a full house at The Miller, Isbells is coming back to London at Nell’s to promote their latest Sosei album. Appearing on soundtracks for Grey’s Anatomy and Hawaii Five O and featuring in a global TV campagne for Trivago – it’s clear that the success (97M Spotify streams) of songs like ‘As Long As It Takes’, ‘Reunite’, ‘Elation’ and ‘Dreamer’ not only surpassed the borders of Belgium, but also those of Gaëtan Vandewoude’s expectations. “I found myself on a rollercoaster, and I’m still riding it 10 years later” says Isbells’ song writer, looking forward to meet the London audience at Nell’s on Saturday 14th of September!”
