Lightlines

about

George Shelley begins a new chapter as he introduces his band LIGHTLINES. George fronts the band, with Alex Pothecary on guitar and Will Jackson on drums and production. Focused on building a strong live presence, LIGHTLINES will expand to a five-piece setup for upcoming shows, adding bass and keyboards to their core trio. While the music is a new direction, George’s presence remains familiar. Known to many from his time in Union J, where he earned four Top 10 hits, as well as appearances on I’m A Celebrity… and The Capital Breakfast Show, his connection with fans continues to grow. LIGHTLINES builds on that connection, offering a new outlet for storytelling with a more personal edge. George, Alex and Will have been working together for the past seven months. The project began when George met Alex while working in a coffee shop, where Alex was his manager. The two bonded over music, and Alex — who holds a master’s degree in composition — helped George shape a body of work from over 300 demos. Will joined soon after, following a chance meeting in another café. Since then, the three have developed a sound influenced by artists like Foo Fighters, Florence + The Machine, and Nothing But Thieves. The band already has a catalogue of songs ready for release. Their upcoming material plays with contrast — mixing grunge-influenced textures with acoustic moments and strong melodic writing. They’ll perform their first live showcase this October, with limited tickets available for fans
