OVERVIEW Colly Strings is a young indie-pop band from the Holywood/Bangor area of Co. Down.

Travis, Andrew and Richard had previously played together as part of SevenStoryWeather. Since its formation, the band has made an instant impression on audiences, drawing favourable comparisons with the likes of Biffy Clyro and Two Door Cinema Club.
