Ghost Trains

'Miss Emily - best acoustic track of all time!' Andy Hughes, Acoustic Magazine

'Astonishing songs' – BBC Music

'Ghost Trains successfully blend the UK and American styles, as well as combining mainstream light rock with traditional folk. The balance is extraordinary.' David Hintz, Folkworld Magazine

Following their performance at The Acoustic Festival of Great Britain in summer 2010, alongside folk legends such as Donovan, Kate Rusby & The Levellers, Acoustic Magazine declared in their October edition that Ghost Trains were 'the highlight of the festival' - commenting on how their 'vocal harmonies were breathtaking, evoking Crowded House at their finest, with songs and playing skills to match.' BBC Music has called their songs 'simply astonishing.'

Ghost Trains are singer/songwriter Tim Ellis, percussionist Jack McCarthy and lead guitarist Paul Dennis.

For a band that formed not that long ago, they must doing something very right. Since their first ever gig in April 2010, not only have they drawn such passionate accolades from the national media, but other achievements have seen downloads of their album 'Where Lovers Die' surpass the 10,000 mark, European management deals and their first US tour - including a show at infamous Hollywood night spot, The Viper Room - other tours soon followed to Russia and all round Eastern Europe as the band played to their rapidly growing fanbase.

Their sound is a blend of harmony vocals and woven guitars with often macabre lyrics betraying the ease and infectious nature of their melodies - just take a listen to Ghost Trains songs and you'll see what we mean!

The albums, which will now remain FREE to download, are a diverse collection of acoustic-led songs.

If you want to hear more or to download any Ghost Trains' songs, just visit Ghost Trains' website, http://ghosttrains.net where you can hear samples before you download for FREE

The group are currently working on an all new LP set for release in January 2012, and are currently seeking representation in the UK.
