Fox Elipsus, originally from Oxford but who has made his home in America for the past 12years, entertained a very small but definitely appreciative audience at the Urban Bean Cafe on Commercial Road, Kirkstall, Leeds. His performance was outstanding especially as he had had a very traumatic day at the hands of disreputable people who gave all honest Britons a bad name. In the tradition of other great artists he managed to get from Birmingham to Leeds in record time in order to not let down his audience. His style was comic with superb keyboard skills but he also had a serious message with regard to political and environmental issues. Fox has only 27 performances left of the 69 at the beginning of his tour so you only have 27 days to take advantage of the opportunity to see this brilliant performer.
After he completed his set he took time out to talk to Yorkshire Gig Guide. He told us that after completing his studies and gaining a couple of degrees to please the family he was persuaded by his girlfriend to follow his dream and play his music. He has been writing songs since the age of 3yrs (although apparently they have improved with time). His ideological influences he says are Dylan, Hendrix and Lennon and he has been inspired musically by musicians of the 80s - including Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, Nick Kirshaw and latterly Cold Play and Radiohead.Fox will be appearing in the following venues over the next few days:-
