Billy Vincent, fronted by thick as thieves charismatic cohorts Billy Barratt & David Vincent, hail from the streets of South London.

Channelling the spirit of Strummer through the likes of Cohen & Cave, and taking influence from the very streets they inhabit to dreams of far off lands, Billy Vincent bring tales of love, lust, ambition & murder. Dark as they are bright, grand & restrained in equal measure, it's a heady & gripping cocktail they christen 'Dirty Folk'.

With a successful debut single in the folk charts, and a self-recorded album & EP already under their belt, things are shaping up nicely for Billy Vincent. The passion, wit and panache with which they deliver their catchy-as-hell songs ensure they stand out as one of the most compelling emerging artists around.
