Forty Elephant Gang are a rousing, engaging, and intensely innovative five-piece from East London that blend Folk, Americana and American Blues with truly classic songwriting. The band recently released two singles, ‘Hard Times' and 'Miss You,' from their new EP ‘The Time We Lost’ released on March 31st, 2023 with an EP launch at the Green Note, Camden on the 30th.

Forty Elephant Gang take their name from a notorious gang of female pickpockets from The Elephant & Castle. The band features Andrew White (Lead Vox and Guitar) Sean Mannion (Mandolin and Backing Vox) and James Bachmann (Guitar and backing Vox), who started the band as a trio, with recent additions to the line-up including Martin  Moore (Drums) and Frazor Twyman on (Bass), adding a punchier feel to the bands live sound. 

Since the bands formation they’ve taken their unique sound to large and varied audiences throughout London and the UK; from ad-hoc rooftop parties to Folk and Acoustic nights to rock bars and back again to back-street boozers, Forty Elephant Gang have received a wave of support and won friends and admirers from all walks of life and are quickly being recognised as one of the best live bands on the circuit right now.

John Murry was adopted at birth into the family of William Faulkner. Some have speculated that the Faulkner blood might also run in his veins, but that should be left for a Southern Gothic novel yet to be written (or perhaps re-written). Raised in Tupelo, Mississippi, in the shadow of Elvis, his undiagnosed autism led to troubles at an early age that led to prescribed medication, which led to un- prescribed medication, which led to being institutionalised for addiction and mental health issues at a too young age.

Memphis led to San Francisco and San Francisco led to heroin and heroin led to a near fatal overdose on the corner of 16th and Mission, so harrowingly memorialized in his song Little Colored Balloons. Music again came to his rescue and led him to Tim Mooney (American Music Club) and the group of musicians that helped create his 2012 masterpiece The Graceless Age. The accolades rolled in..
