Fresh from touring with the likes of Midge Ure, Hazel O'Connor and Show of Hands, alongside headline concerts across Europe, Cole Stacey & Joseph O’Keefe are now India Electric Co.

2013 saw them receive airplay on BBC Radio 3 and BBC 6 Music and play the likes of Glastonbury and Larmer Tree Festival. Sometimes folk, sometimes not.

"Just so fresh...one of the more interesting collaborations of the year. A big sound for a duo." - BBC 6 Music (Tom Robinson)

"Lovely arrangements...fantastic!" - Johnny Coppin

Unpretentious, absorbing and far from the madding crowd, India Electric Company’s carefully blended sound vortexes around a supple joining of voice and instruments. Concocted in the Devonshire countryside and Parisian cafes, Cole and Joseph produce intricately woven textures which belies the fact that there are only two of them.

"Fresh, original and inventive. [On Hire] is one of the best albums from young songwriters I’ve heard all year." - Steve Knightley (Show Of Hands)

Like wandering minstrels roving along the fringes of the 21st century, they have spent much of the last 18 months touring Plymouth to Paris, Sidmouth to Skye and every independent coffee shop that lies between.

From playing jazz on West Holts Stage at Glastonbury Festival to performing Mendellsohn’s Violin Concerto for Terry Pratchett, Joseph’s virtuosity on violin, accordion, guitar and piano (to name but few) has made him one of the most sought after multi-instrumentalists in the UK.

"Stylish and timeless" - Woman's Weekly

Cole, described by Steve Knightley (Show of Hands) as “an impassioned and ambitious singer-songwriter,” has been performing around England with his Faith guitar in hand for several years. He has an uncanny ability to tell the same three ‘jokes’ on stage regardless of surroundings - be it supporting Midge Ure in sellout shows in Scotland or playing to five people in a yurt at Sidmouth Folk Festival.
