Formed in 2015, Velvet Alibi is the result of a musical collaboration between Anna Nolan, Vocals – (born Croydon, Surrey) and Rohan Armstrong, Bass (born Armagh, Northern Ireland). The band is based in Derry, where the duo met during their music degree. The band plays in various sizes from a 5 piece to a 13 piece and often features some of NI’s best upcoming musicians including young Jazz guitarist Joseph Leighton and keyboard Maestro Neil Burns AKA Comrade Hat. The band’s expansive sound merges funky beats and virtuosic improvisation with melodic song-writing and lush vocal harmonies.
