Harry Smethurst is a live loop artist based in Liverpool. Playing guitar and singing, Harry adds looping layers into the mix to perform some classic sing-along anthems as well as some forgotten musical gems.

Harry also writes original music and is working on his live set with his band Hollowbody. Musical influences for some of the original music would have to be Foals / Bombay Bicycle Club / Interpol – I also produce electronic music under the pseudonym Locardt (you can find out more about this on SoundCloud).

A secret love of dance tunes pervades some of the cover choices in his sets and you will see some live looping using drum pads and samples to rework some timeless house/dance & trance classics.

With the first single “Feel It In My Bones” coming out next month, Hollowbody have been working on their live set an plan to get out on the road as soon as possible.

Harry also performs with Gigmann artist, AYA (who played last Saturdays Livestream which you can see HERE) alongside some fantastic musicians. Harry is also part of a covers duo called Broken Strings, this duo consist of guitar, cajon and harmonies to take some of your favourite sing-along tunes in a different direction and perform some songs you normally wouldn’t hear acoustically.
