AN ALT-indie duo from North London are set to perform in Bournemouth next month.

Blue Violet will bring their UK tour Echobelly to Bournemouth’s Old Fire Station on Friday, November 29.

The tour follows the release of Blue Violet's new single Barefoot On The Seine, inspired by protests they witnessed in Chicago and Europe.

Singer Sarah McGrigor said: “It’s a protest song that promotes the message that love conquers all. It is about freedom; the freedom to make the world you want to live in a reality.

"The freedom to make choices about how you wish to live your life – who you are, who you want to be, what clothes you want to wear – and, most importantly, that no one has the right to tell you otherwis.

"It’s a kick back at anyone who thinks it is their right to try and make anyone feel small or insignificant.”

Guitarist Sam Gotley added: “We weren’t going to release this song as a single, but in the midst of so much political unrest this year when many feel so vulnerable, it felt like this song might speak to people and remind them that love and acceptance is always the way forward.”

Blue Violet's new album, Faux Animaux, will be released on January 24 next year on Me & My Records via High Head Recordings.
