The Off Chance are my new favourite thing. A duo that consists of Nick Hughes and Ricky O'Sullivan previously of The 211 fame, they are genuinely not like anything you will have heard locally or nationally before. A repertoire that consists of 6 and 12 string guitar, mandolin, banjo and drums can only be a good thing in my eyes. But these two are far from being a novelty act; beautiful lyrics, catchy melodies and a brilliant powerful voice (that has come on miles from the days of The 211) brings everything together in a neat and tidy Mumford & Sons/Holloways esque folky little package. Their recordings are as tight as rude joke I could make and it will be hugely interesting to see how they recreate that live, especially if plans to add a Double Bass and Accordion to the line-up go ahead. The duo looks set to take the festival set by storm and if you've got an ounce of intelligence in you you'll learn the words now cause you're gunna be singing them all summer.
