Abi Farrell [2022] - Nobody Else [Big A.C #BIGAC019D]

The latest single from Oxfordshire's Abi Farrell, "Nobody Else", is a departure from her last stomping release "Stepping Out Of Your Shadow" a little more akin to her one before, which was also on the B side of the vinyl release, "Don't Follow Me".

For the new single, a favourite in her love performances, Abi has once again teamed up with producer Mitch Ayling (The Milk) to create a love song on which she showcases a more gentle touch with an understated arrangement and production.

Abi released a debut EP, "The Only Way I Learn", in Nov 2019. She met Big AC supremo Nick Corbin by chance at an East London jam session in Feb 2020 which ignited a songwriting partnership that would develop fruitfully over lockdown and saw Abi becoming part of the Big AC Records family.

Her debut Big AC single, "I Will See You Through" (also released on vinyl along with "Empowered"), was embraced by the UK underground scene and gained rave reviews from the likes of Craig Charles (BBB 6  Music), Robert Elms (BBC Radio London) and Blues & Soul magazine.

Abi has been very active on the live scene supporting Izo Fitzroy last October and a headline show at Pizza Express (London), and has several gigs coming up between now and the end of the year as part of the Big AC Soul Revue which includes Carmy Love, Emma Noble and Nick Corbin:

Abi Farrell [2022] - Stepping Out Of Your Shadow [Big AC #BIGAC015]

Yet another vinyl escapee making it the sixth today! The new single from Big AC's Abi Farrell is due out on vinyl (and digitally) on Friday (28 Jan 2022). It is coupled with her last single "Don't Follow Me", released last November which was very well received. 

The new single is titled "Stepping Out Of Your Shadow" and is string laden stomper with a driving horn section which sits squarely in the blue-eyed Northern Soul territory. 

Abi is certainly starting to get noticed with endorsements from BBC radio jocks Craig Charles, Robert Elms and Tony Blackburn as well as Blues & Soul magazine.

She has recently opened for Izo Fitzroy and performed some headline shows at Pizaa Express, Holburn and has a few more dates lined up for 2022:

Fri 11 Feb: Pizza Express Jazz Club, Soho (Headline show)
