PSYCHEDELIC HEARTS CLUB - Press Release

Psychedelic Hearts Chime Online Herefordshire and West Sussex-based band Psychedelic Hearts Club will be making a rare county appearance at Linton Village Hall at 7 PM on Friday February 23rd, 2018. Vocalist and guitar player Simon Tittley met keyboard player, backing vocalist and flautist Susie Wellings on his first internet date !

Susie took up music again after a long break from a very musical childhood. She had studied piano and flute as a child and her father, producer and entrepreneur Bill Wellings founded the 60’s Hot Hits label. Susie remembers attending sessions as a child where top UK session musicians Big Jim Sullivan, Jimmy Page and Elton John played on cover versions of top international hits.

Simon started playing guitar at the age of 11 and later worked as a songwriter and producer for

WEA International in Bangkok, Thailand in the eighties. He was signed to an indie label in the USA during the nineties. Since then he has been one of the busiest private guitar & bass teachers in the county, based at his recording studio in St Owens Cross near Ross-on-Wye.

The couple met online early in 2011 through the Guardian Soulmates dating website and soon realised they shared a deep love and passion for music. Simon started the band in Brighton in 2015 and after several personnel changes persuaded Susie to dig out her flute from the loft and to buy a new keyboard !

Since that time the duo have played venues and

festivals in UK, France & Spain drawing inspiration from The Beatles' Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album, psychedelic bands such as Cream, the blues of Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters and Willie Dixon, early Soul and R&B hits and the reggae of Bob Marley & the Wailers.
