The Feeling Tickets

Formed in 1995, The Feeling adopted their moniker from a small bar in Paris that they liked and thought was better suited for a band name.

Except for frontman and principal songwriter Dan Gillespie Sells, who comes from London, the five-piece’s members – bassist Richard Jones, drummer Paul Stewart, guitarist Kevin Jeremiah and his brother keyboardist Ciaran Jeremiah – all hail from Horsham in Sussex.

Their guitar-based soft rock sound has been compared to a range of acts including Supertramp(Opens in new tab), 10cc(Opens in new tab), Electric Light Orchestra(Opens in new tab), Queen(Opens in new tab) and Elton John(Opens in new tab). 

In 2006, The Feeling released their critically acclaimed debut album Twelve Stops And Home. Inspired by Gillespie Sells’ journey on the Piccadilly Line from Leicester Square to his home stop of Bounds Green, it was mostly self-recorded in the garden shed at the Jeremiah brothers’ parental home in Sussex. Five of songs quickly became hits – Fill My Little World, Never Be Lonely, Sewn, Love It When You Call and Rose – plus helped them win the Ivor Novello Award for Songwriters of the Year.

The Feeling’s second album, 2008’s Join With Us, continued their successful streak by reaching the No.1 spot on the UK albums chart. That summer the band made their first appearance at Glastonbury Festival playing the Pyramid Stage. 

During the ’10s, they released three more top 50-charting albums: 2011’s Together We Were Made, 2013’s Boy Cried Wolf and 2016’s The Feeling.

In addition to his work with The Feeling, over the years Gillespie Sells has also written with other artists like Sophie Ellis-Bextor(Opens in new tab) as well as composed music for television, ballet and theatre including the TV series Beautiful People and the popular West End show Everybody’s Talking About Jamie(Opens in new tab).

For the UK’s first ever National Thank You Day on 4 July 2021, The Feeling got together with Ellis-Bextor and Jamie Cullum(Opens in new tab) to re-record the Fleetwood Mac(Opens in new tab) hit song Don’t Stop. In August, they unveiled the single While You’re Still Young, also recorded with Ellis-Bextor for the film adaptation of Everybody’s Talking About Jamie.

2026 marked the band's 20th anniversary UK tour for multi-million selling debut album Twelve Stops and Home, as the group celebrated the wonderful journey that they have been on. Frontman Dan Gillespie-Sells said: "Twelve Stops And Home is an album that changed all our lives as a band. The success of the album allowed us to continue working and playing together for another 20 years and we are still the best of mates. Celebrating this album is going to be so much fun. I can't wait to play the album and sing along with you all!"
