Stella Reilly - I Used To Be Fun

Stella Reilly is barely a day over twenty, yet boasts a wealth of experience that reaches far beyond her years. Her original, soulful take on folk, blended with a good measure of rockabilly and blues, poignantly speaks volumes of her experiences over the past few years, which saw her perform across the UK with her former band, culminating with a coveted slot at T-in-the Park last July.
Since deciding to go solo, Stella has developed beyond expectation, and has been working hard on her debut EP with a host of notable and talented musicians from across Scotland. She is now ready to step back into the spotlight accompanied by her new band.
