Talented brothers are rocking the music industry

TWO local brothers are causing a stir in the music industry.
Caistor siblings Ashley, 30, and Kyle Hall, 24, are making waves in the British music scene by appearing in top music magazines, television and gigging at festivals around the world.

Ashley is in a band called My Preserver, which has been described by Kerrang! as one of the most exciting current British bands, and Kyle is part of Goldheart Assembly, which won record of the week with BBC 6 Music.

From humble beginnings, the brothers first started a band called Dads Lads, and played over 400 gigs from the ages of nine to 13 and this gave them a huge passion for music.


They both moved to London in 2006; Ashley studied a degree in music technology and Kyle studied at the Guitar X Rockschool.
Ashley is now a drummer in band My Preserver, and they have been on numerous European tours and festivals supporting Exit 10 and Funeral For A Friend. They will next support The Cribs at the Why Not Festival in August.
Kyle is a guitarist in Goldheart Assembly and their first single Stephanie And The Ferris Wheel played on Steve Lamacq's Roundtable and is currently being played every morning on Shaun Keaveny's Breakfast Show.
They also appeared on the Carson Daly Show in Los Angeles which went out to over one million people.
Ashley said: "London has been great for us, it has brought some great opportunities for us.
"The band has gone from strength to strength and we hope to perform in Grimsby soon.
"We are currently writing our second album and ideas are flowing – it's sounding pretty good. We're positive about the future."
Kyle also said the key to his music was moving to the capital city too.
He said: "Moving to London has been the most amazing experience. I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to make music, perform and tour with Goldheart Assembly.
"I could not have done any of this without the support of my family who have supported me through the whole journey.
"I feel very lucky to have met four great friends in Goldheart and cannot wait for what the future may bring."
Parents John, a shift technician, and Angie, owner of Tea Cosy Cafe, in Caistor, said they are very proud of their boys.
John said: "We are delighted they are doing something they love and they have achieved so much.
"From the moment we gave them their first instruments, we could see they were talented.
"Our daughter, Lianne has now moved down to London to pursue her career. We miss them all dearly."
