Le Emu Tavern

When Oxford&#39;s legendary indie-pop band <a href="spotify:artist:6I2IMdM63TG7FzPF6Rcpx9" data-name="Holy Roman Empire">Holy Roman Empire</a> split up, frontman Ste Fleming started writing and recording as Le Emu Tavern, eventually releasing the first album <a href="spotify:album:5AED3z8s85p2MGXLEPmKfO" data-name="...And I Was Sore Afraid">...And I Was Sore Afraid</a> in 2010.

Having moved back to Liverpool and in a time of austerity Le Emu Tavern was turned into a live band with the help of Seph Ong (guitar) and Ian Molyneux (drums) and a set of songs was built up what became <a href="spotify:album:5B7t17rSfw8nSz8fc6K2VV" data-name="A Country Supper with Le Emu Tavern">A Country Supper with Le Emu Tavern</a> in 2018.
Following the departure of Seph earlier that year, Le Emu Tavern was joined on guitar by Sanjoy Banerjee for a brief spell with some big shows including the Country Supper album launch and a special Truck Festival set partly made up of old <a href="spotify:artist:6I2IMdM63TG7FzPF6Rcpx9" data-name="Holy Roman Empire">Holy Roman Empire</a> songs.

In 2019 &#39;the lids&#39; left the band and Cerys Gallagher joined as a full member having played violin on the previous album and sung at the HRE Truck show. Album number 3 is in production at a time when the far-right is on the rise, both on the streets and in electoral-politics. <a href="spotify:track:4K3MPBo3IpeX6nR4i7IaAQ" data-name="The Master Race Made a Big Mistake (When They Came to Our Town)">The Master Race Made a Big Mistake (When They Came to Our Town)</a>, <a href="spotify:track:1MI3QxW2wZILWFeXtLpMw6" data-name="Fireworks">Fireworks</a> and <a href="spotify:track:5lX0KgaLGN84pZtusAloLN" data-name="Home: The Right to Seek Asylum">Home: The Right to Seek Asylum</a> give some taste of how that third album will roll.
