Biog...
Alex Seel is a singer-songwriter and guitarist with roots in folk & blues.
Music has led Alex Seel from Devon to London to Ireland and back to London again. Through his wanderings, Alex has picked up a beautifully crafted, warm, rootsy song-writing style with thought-provoking, subtle lyrics and a gift for acoustic guitar finger-picking. He has a growing reputation as a solo performer, having performed in UK, Ireland, Italy and Spain.
His most recent release is the album ‘Spell On A Tin Drum’. This and previous releases have been well received by press (see Reviews) and radio (including BBC6 and various BBC regional/local).
