EXPOSING SPEECH DEBELLE

Our first-ever Awards programme in the East of England delivered some truly OUTSTANDING TALENT earlier this month. From the live stage to the awards themselves, our thanks and respect to all the bands who took part this year – and of course to those who delivered blistering live performances: Hella Cholla, Maker, The Electric Riot, Black Bikini Alpha, Shifter X, Metis and of course, Speech Debelle. See her performing Wheels in Motion right here!

Our very own Dean Hill caught up with Speech after the show, when this year’s Mercury Prize Winner shared her thoughts on breaking through and why Exposure’s got it right! Check out the vids, courtesy of our man on the cam, Andrew Nicholas...
