Following a truly stunning sell out gig at The Great Hall, Dartington and sensational sets at Glastonbury Festival this year, The Little Unsaid make a welcome return to The Barrel House Ballroom, Totnes for a very special gig.
Without doubt one of the best live bands in the country, this will be one of the must-see gigs of the year!
Taking in elements of alt-folk, indie, electronica and alt-rock, their music has been described as "bold and different" (The Guardian), "entrancing" (Clash), and "a stunning interpretation of contemporary chaos" (The Line of Best Fit).
The Little Unsaid play The Barrel House Ballroom, Totnes on Saturday October 8th.

The Little Unsaid are a diverse 4-piece whose expansive songwriting and impassioned performances have earned them a reputation as one of the must-see live acts of the independent music scene.
A musical vehicle for the diverse music of songwriter and band leader John Elliott, The Little Unsaid are a very special band and are not to be missed!
Born out of the English indie-roots scene of the 00’s, The Little Unsaid have built up a solid following one tour and release at a time, received glowing reviews and gained the attention of national media since signing with UK independent Reveal Records (home to award winning international artists such as Joan As Police Woman, Lau, Kris Drever and Eddi Reader).
In 2021 The Little Unsaid released two albums: the full band & experimental “Lick The Future’s Lips,” followed by a contrasting, intimate solo winter music reflection “December Songs”.
Both albums were played on radio and reviewed with acclaim, and awarded Album of The Month by Folk Radio UK (the number one roots media platform in the UK). The band has frequently collaborated with renowned producer Graeme Stewart (who alongside engineering for Radiohead has produced Oscar-nominated film scores by Jonny Greenwood) and have received several awards for their work including:
- The Steve Reid InNOVAtion Award (PRS Foundation & Gilles Peterson, with mentoring from FourTet)
- Help Musicians Emerging Excellence Award
The band have played a variety of major Festivals (including Glastonbury) and their recent UK tour was described as “a soaring piece of sonic beauty…one hell of a show” (MusoMuso). During the Covid lockdowns, John created the Relay album project, collaborating on two covers albums with artists including Billy Bragg and Frank Turner to raise money for Music Venue Trust.
