Lucy and The Mean Times

Lucy and the Mean Times are a 7-piece country/folk band comprised of highly skilled, professional, young musicians from the Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance.

Formed in 2020, the global pandemic did little to slow us down, with our debut single, a fresh and distinct cover of Daddy Lessons by Beyonce, being released on all streaming platforms in March 2021.

Connor Bolan (Guitar): A fan of soft rock, alternative/indie, drinking JD and singing falsetto.

Gabriel Askew (Trumpet): A conductor, arranger and teacher whose favourite things are food, football and foreign countries…in that order!
