Will Varley has been a stalwart of the Acoustic/Folk scene since 2002, playing literally hundreds of gigs through his teens and early twenties. After growing tired of London in 2010 Varley moved to Deal, Kent and there along with a number of musicians set up Smugglers Records. Smugglers is a collective of like minded independent bands and solo artists who help eachother release and tour their music and put on events.

In 2011 Varley recorded his debut album 'Advert Soundtracks' and then set out on the road and walked a hundred and thirty miles with a guitar and tent on his back. Starting the tour at London Bridge he headed south east, strolling through the rolling hills of the Kent wield and singing songs to whoever would listen. The 24 year old slept in barns, camped at the side of canals and played gigs in the corner of crowded pubs. By the time he strolled back to deal, despite the blisters and the aching muscles, word of his album had begun to spread and he had many a story to tell.

We filmed Will outside Hampton Court palace, performing his song 'Weddings and Wars', on a welcomed sunny Sunday afternoon. He was so good we have offered him a slot at our City Sessions: Live Night on 8th May 2013, details can be found here: http://www.facebook.com/events/125365...

Will Varley's second album "As The Crow Flies" is scheduled for release on Smugglers on 8th July 2013.
