GRESLEY
plus support
Whelan’s Upstairs • Thur 7th May 2026
GRESLEY, the solo project of UK based independent artist George Smith, begins a new chapter for the songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. After spending much of his career as one third of the British Pop-Rock group New Hope Club, George Smith embarks on a journey of self exploration and discovery with a fresh sound. Spending months in his bedroom writing, Gresley has been working towards a debut album releasing in April of 2026, executive produced by the hit-making duo The Futuristics . A combination of love, quiet desperation and yearning, these songs bring to life what George Smith has not yet had the chance to express as an artist and songwriter. With over a decade of experience touring around the globe, GRESLEY brings a lively and unmatched energy to the stage. His upcoming album is one primed for live performances, but also provides listeners with a unique emotional experience whether at home, on the go, or at a live show.
