Alexandra Legouix and the Sunflowers!
"Alexandra Legouix and The Sunflowers are a sophisticated but accessible fusion of Latin, jazz and pop influences. We make music that people can relate to on many different levels... think about it... chill to it... dance to it... make love to it...Funky, modern, relevant lyrics and tunes, set to a backing skilfully provided by vastly experienced musicians" Winning BBC Introducing (Berkshire) in January 2010 helped launch Alexandra into the limelight and provided her with new and exciting opportunities. In April, Alexandra and her newly formed band (The Sunflowers!) played the BBC Introducing gig in Reading with much success - landing new gigs as a result and developing a bigger and more loyal fan base. As well as support from the BBC, they have received much press attention and recently have had featured articles in a number of local and national newspapers. They have been headline and support acts at many top venues including: The Troubadour, The Bedford, Monto Water Rats, The Cobden Club, Café de Paris, RichMix for Jazz FM Radio to name a small few and their music is being played regularly on the radio in the UK, Europe and in South America and doing very well in Brazil! They released their EP 'FACEBOOK' in December and then their next EP ‘LET’S GO’ has been released on to iTunes and all other leading online distributors. They have written an additional 6 songs that are being recorded this month. 2011 has continued in this vein. Alexandra is still number one in the Latin genre of Indie Charts after 10 weeks; they have done a live interview and session on Bucks TV; a live recording for Imperial Radio; countless air plays now on various radio stations including Q Radio, Leicester HFM, Jazz FM, Awesome Radio, Sine FM, TD1, Preston FM, The Overflow, Pure 107, Leith FM, Women’s Radio, Heart FM Spain - to name but a few; a live show for JAZZ FM and Rich Mix; they have been performing at many festivals including Reading, Wokingham, CityFest, Windsor; Farnham; and they have been interviewed/reviewed recently by Buzzin, Qmunicate Magazine, All Gigs, Acoustic Magazine, Spark Magazine, Woho Music, France Magazine, Fame Magazine, Butterfly Music, Ent Focus, Femmusic and many more.
