Circus Envy-
Circus Envy  a contemporary alternative-folk band from East Yorkshire Feature a line-up of primarily acoustic instruments, that add a traditional sensibility to their intricately crafted harmony-led modern songs with use of bouzouki, mandolin and cajon.
High profile performances alongside artists such as Jim Moray, Megson, Belshazzer’s Feast, Iain Matthews and Jackie Leven have cemented the band’s reputation as a live act.
The band’s 2010 EP, “A New Dawn”, was released to critical acclaim, and received significant airplay, including from Mike Harding on BBC Radio 2 and resulted in Circus Envy being featured on the front cover of R2 Magazine. The year ended with a Christmas performance at the Ropery Hall, Barton-upon-Humber which sold out before Halloween.
