Cole Stacey – Solo Artist/India Electric Company/Midge Ure

 

“I’m delighted and incredibly excited to join the Flattley pedals family as I fell in love with their unique sounds when Midge introduced them to me on tour in 2024. Using the Bass Valkyrie vintage chorus provides the perfect distinctive tone and lift especially for the Ultravox-era songs in the bigger stages and festivals. Combining the octave mandolin and electric guitar with the Nirvana delay is something I’m extremely excited to tour with live, combining traditional instruments with the right subtle effects can be challenging but this feels like the perfect combination for me and compliments the sound and natural tones for the soundscape I’m trying to create on stage. I look forward to taking the pedals everywhere I go and showing them the sights and sounds!”.

Cole Stacey Bio

Cole Stacey is a visceral and lyrical songwriter, singer and musician who has roamed the
highest diverse echelons of British folk, 80s pop, spoken word and ambient electronics.
From The Royal Albert Hall to The Westfalenhalle Arena, from 700-year-old castles in
Gdansk to Glastonbury Festival.
“Soft, pop-aware voice describing a life alive with motion”– The Independent
As one half of alt-folk duo India Electric Company alongside Joseph O’Keefe, Cole has
recently been found on prime-time live sessions for BBC Radio 2 and BBC 6 Music with
KLOF declaring them “one of the truly pioneering acts in folk music” and BBC Radio 1
describing them as “A full musical odyssey”.
Since 2015 Cole has been accompanying legendary pop icon Midge Ure on everything from
mandolin to bass Guitar, analogue synthesizers to vocals, across sold-out tours of Australia,
New Zealand, UK, Scandinavia and Germany. Shows with the Human League at
Hammersmith Apollo and headline concerts at the likes of The Royal Albert Hall have been
plentiful in recent years.
“Cole’s soaring vocals were a highlight of an electrifying performance, nothing short of
mesmerizing”– Scottish Music Network
With explorations into traditional songwriting and verse in his blood, Cole will be sharing his
extraordinarily honest debut album in early 2025 to audiences far beyond his Dartmoorian
horizons. At its heart is a symbiosis of ‘lost’ places and forgotten words, stretching as far
back as the 13th century, paired with Cole’s distinctive lyrical songwriting and remarkable
field recordings. For someone so well travelled of late, this album finally brings Cole Stacey
home.
