Our travels so far have taken us to venues such as the Forum in Tunbridge Wells, The Winter Gardens in Margate, Balcony TV in London and to the Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury earning us a hefty following and an appreciative crowd that, without the care, support and kindness of them all, we would most certainly not be where we are today.
There are four members in Gentlemen of Few; Elliott Norris, Reece Forward, Jarrod Piner and Kit Evans, we approach our take on music with the knowledge that there can always be something else to play, some other instrument to implement or some strange form of music to incorporate and this is what carries us – the ever growing world of music. We can more often than not be found playing our key instruments of Guitar, Banjo, Piano, Accordion and Bass but instrumental limits do not quell our outward spiraling imaginations and so, we have been known to integrate trumpets, trombones, harmonicas, mandolins and even an entire chamber orchestra on occasions. We focus our intentions on choral harmonies with four part vocals and will never hesitate at the chance to try something a little beyond our reach.
We truly are compassionate about the music we compose and to have the opportunity and aptitude to play to even a few who are willing to listen, music that tells a story or expresses a personal ardor of something or someone is one we will not take for granted and one we hope to cherish and maintain for a long, long while.

Gentlemen Of Few Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd be sad, that we had to leave
And oh Emily
Well I'm glad, we don't have to speak
Emily
Emily
... Instrumental...
I find it hard
To believe
It was me you loved
And I think a girl
With such a soul
Should let it go
And breathe
Emily
Emily
... Instrumental ...
Could I give her everything she needs?
She asked me sweetly
Or would I send her falling to her knees?
Like I did recently
Emily
Emily
So little girl
How is life
Is it nice and sweet
Do you have a plan
When they fail
These very sails, you come
Emily

Could I give her everything she needs?
She asked me sweetly.
Or would I send her falling to her knees?
Like I did recently

The song "Emily" by Gentlemen Of Few is a poignant expression of lost love and personal growth. The singer is reflecting on a past relationship with Emily and realizing that he is both sad to have left her and glad that they no longer communicate. He finds it hard to believe that Emily could have loved someone like him and thinks that she should let go of any lingering feelings and move on.
The instrumental portions of the song give the listener time to contemplate the lyrics and feel the emotions that the singer is expressing. The mention of Emily's soul indicates that their relationship may have been deeper than just a surface-level romance, and that the singer recognizes the worth of Emily as a person.
The final verse indicates that Emily has moved on from the relationship and the singer wonders how she is doing. He also questions whether he could have given her everything she needed when they were together, or if he was the cause of her falling to her knees in despair.
Overall, "Emily" is a powerful song about growth, self-reflection, and the complexities of love and relationships.
