Lucky Soul are a six-piece from London, UK fronted by the beautiful Ali Howard whose voice, with its interplay of fragility and power, brings to mind Sandie Shaw, Mazzy Star’s Hope Sandoval and the Ronettes’ Veronica Bennett.

In 2002, Andrew was based in Glasgow, working nights as a supervisor in a sound engineering college.
