Bel Esprit
Bel Esprit Bel Esprit was a fund Ezra Pound made for T.S. Eliot to get him out of his day job and write poetry full time. It is now also a band. A 4-piece indie/alternative rock band based in Southampton, Bel Esprit brings the youthful energy of the noughties indie scene together with the artistry of Andy Warhol’s factory and the beat generation.

The quartet, based in Southampton, have had a fantastic 12 months, playing sets at Common People, Wickham, Independence and Icebreaker Festival and playing sold out shows at Southampton’s Joiners, Sheffield’s Plug and Camden’s prestigious Barfly with acts such as Ezra Furman, Sundara Karma and Nothing But Thieves.

Debut single ‘Lose My Mind’ has racked up over 150,000 plays across all platforms, leading to plays on BBC Radio 6 Music with Steve Lamacq.
