London, United Kingdom (2006 – present)

Pocketbooks are a pop group from London, combining melodic boy/girl harmonies, spiralling guitars and delicate pianos. The band members are Andy Hudson, Daniel Chapman, Emma Hall, Ian Cowen and Jonny Tansey.

The band formed in 2006, and appeared on a compilation, The Kids At The Club, later that year. In April 2007, Pocketbooks played the first ever Indietracks event on a 1950s steam railway in Derbyshire. This show coincided with the release of the band’s debut single, Cross The Line, on Atomic Beat Records.

A year later, Pocketbooks released an EP Waking Up on Make Do And Mend Records. This was followed by the band’s first album, Flight Paths, in July 2009 on How Does It Feel To Be Loved?. The album contains the single Footsteps and the track Fleeting Moments, which appears on the Rough Trade Shops Indiepop ‘09 compilation.

The second Pocketbooks album, Carousel, was released in September 2011 on Odd Box Records, preceeded by the single Promises, Promises. The band were joined for the album recording by violin players from A Little Orchestra.

Pocketbooks have played live shows across the UK, Europe and the United States, including festival appearances at Offset, Indietracks and Rip It Up (Sweden) and popfests in London, Edinburgh, New York and San Francisco.
