Artist details
Info
Described by one notable French radio producer as "The New Beautiful South", The Portraits are a song writing duo from the British Isles who released their first CD album, Kin, on 6th November 2006. Jeremy and Lorraine Millington have been playing and writing music in union since 1995, and formed The Portraits in 2005.
The first album under the "The Portraits" pseudonym is the result of two years' work and a number of life changing experiences. Recorded largely at their own studio in France, it nonetheless retains a uniquely British Isles slant in its at times humorous portrayal of bereavement. Keen to promote the "Music is Invisible" mantra which begins the album, they choose to remain visually elusive, preferring their listeners instead to identify with the content and cultural and age references of their lyrics and melodies. "We couldn't have created this album any sooner" says singer and writer Jeremy. "This is music for people who've seen and felt life a little."

Hi Jeremy and Lorraine,
I was surprised to see you guys here... Just thought I'd kick start things for you - you guys have great potential here - I know it's a lot of work, but I'm sure you'll be able to do it one step at a time :)
You guys mean a lot to me and have given me a lot of encouragement. Now it's time for me to give something to you :)

Pity, you are not more active on Sellaband, your music is very interesting.
Unfortunatly, at the moment, the Sellaband communauty is too small and only goes towards active artists...

I'm amazed. What an absolutely tremendous entrance to Sellaband from The Portraits. If only the Sellaband Player could carry more songs. I can but only hope that your talent is suitably rewarded over the coming months. How lucky we are to have The Portraits.

Howdy!
Just wanted to pop in and give you a heads up on Sommersby's October Competition!
If you haven't already heard, the competition (hot on the heels of his recent neck-in-neck September fiesta) will offer 20 parts for the winner and is open to all artists that have between $9999 and $0 in budget.
Please check the forum for updates on contest rules and regs….starts 25 October!
This is a great opportunity for you. Campaign with the believers to let them know you'd like to be nominated and encourage them to vote for you when the time comes.
Of course, if you'd like to, or you know someone who would like to, donate parts for the prizes in the Competition, just send (or have them send) Sommersby the details under a message marked “October Donation."
Hope you join in on the fun and GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!!
